Title: Alight with Dark Fire
Product review: If magic is just undiscovered science, then Sansom's alchemy in recreating Tudor England is the formula for exploring how this century lurched toward the Age of Enlightenment. It provides a fascinating recreation of the minds and hearts of Henry VIII's realm. Sansom takes the time to develop his characters with sharp distinction, and uses weather and smell to give readers a visceral experience of the day. His blend of historical events and the characters playing them out, both real and fictional, is well crafted and exciting. I hope he keeps Matthew Shardlake alive and well for many more installments!
