Huge Thank you to NetGalley and Bloomsbury Publishing for providing me with the ARC of this masterpiece.
A book that made me laugh and cry from the beginning to the very end, I felt like a part of this world, of the political schemes, of treasons and betrayals, of plotting and evil. And between all of this there was love and humility that were sacrificed in the name of revenge. It’s now on my favorite historical stories I’ve read, the 15th century England feels so real, and dirty, and posh, and elusive, and magical and horrifying at the same time. Harkin’s writing is on another plain of existence, sharp and fast and with no sparing of your feeling, raw and honest; punch in the gut of your love for these characters. Historical fiction in its finest. I am sure when this book gets released it will be a phenomenon.
