A review by marilynsaul
Devil's Brood by Sharon Kay Penman

4.0

The last of the Henry II & Eleanor of Aquitaine series, I liked this one the least. Reading 736 pages of family dysfunction was just too depressing. That and battle after battle after lie after lie. Don't get me wrong - this is a well-written book (as is the whole series) and Penman does a remarkable job of bringing history to life. But I'm due for a break now and will pick up the succeeding Plantagenet series somewhere down the line at a much later date.
