It's been ages since I read some historical fiction and this book was brilliant and made me realise what I'm missing out on! A fictionalised retelling of Joan of Arc, I particularly enjoyed the first half telling the hard and brutal life Joan had as a child. It was unflinchingly raw and devastating, and shapes the Joan who we see in the second half - strong, independent, assertive and only 17 years old. The second half, whilst not as enjoyable, was more political and battle based, and had a real focus on how Joan stood up for herself around all the high powered men of influence around her. I would highly recommend this.

I received a free review copy from the publisher in exchange for my honest unedited feedback.
