A review by krisandburn
The King's Witch by Tracy Borman
4.5
Set against the backdrop of the political turmoil that was the reign of King James I in the early 1600s, Borman has created a novel that is full of intrigue, yet manages to make it very human.
Frances makes a strong heroine that you cannot help but root for amidst historic figures. You can feel Frances’ frustration as her fate is always decided upon by others and yet she knows her duty and I found myself admiring her for her loyalty to those she holds dear.
Because this is a story created within the confounds of historical events, you already have a sense what will happen with certain storylines and the ending was predictable, but Borman managed to keep it fresh and interesting and I did not really mind.
Overall, this was a great read and I am looking forward to future books in the trilogy.
Highly recommended if you like historical fiction set during this time period. You will not be disappointed.
