A review by nindie
The Stuarts 1603 to 1714 by Andrew Langley

informative fast-paced

3.0

This book is for anyone who likes a short read that would educate them briefly on the Stuarts surrounding the monarchy, trade system, architecture, science discoveries and more.

What I Liked About The Book

I liked how it was a short read that provided a brief on what happened during the Stuart period. It was nice to see pictures to make the pages more colourful and to show what cannot be said. For example, how people looked, illustrations of inventions etc.

What I Disliked About The Book

It was a bit too short, and I wished there would have at least been two pages on each topic/section to add more information about them. Nothing stood out to me as something I would remember except the bits I already knew before reading the book.

In Conclusion

It was an okay quick read about the Stuarts, and I enjoyed it to pass the time and add to my reading goal. My favourite page(s) in the book was the one(s) discussing people and their homes. The images were a nice feature, and I liked the insight into the architecture and home life!
