What I Did Like:
+The period accurate details are well done. Too often writers of historical fiction will gloss past things they can’t explain to hint that it was exactly like now. This author leans into the descriptions of how things looked or were made at points where it makes sense.
+The story does a good job of adding in conversational and situational details that, while probably not entirely accurate, add to the story. You find yourself invested in the character more and more as the story goes on.
+The politics and the intrigue surrounding these characters comes into play as the story goes on, which is interesting. I felt like I learned a little something about the time period.

Who Should Read This One:
-Fans of historical fiction stories, specifically those interested in the life (or time period) of William the Conqueror.

My Rating: 3 Stars
Although slow to start, this one is sure to please historical fiction fans interested in this time period.
