Title: just ok
Review: This book took me forever to get through. I do enjoy historical fiction, which is why I chose this book to begin with, and it seemed the author did her homework. However, the first half was so difficult to muddle through that I was very very close to drop it and stop reading. I found the writing did not flow. There were a lot of characters that seemed superfluous and all the similar names made it confusing to follow. I thought that her transition between events was choppy and many times I wondered why that section was in there in the first place. I enjoyed the last half better, as Eleanor was going through more events that made her character grow slightly, and as I didn't have to read about the King and Hugh moving from one place first, then another, and then another.This wouldn't be a book I'd re-read.
