I
was inspired to read this after binge-watching "Reign" on TV. It is
always entertaining to see just how far a writer will go in adapting history.
This book gave proof to the great dimensions of dramatic license. As an
historical read, it was just a bit tedious as the detail is quite extensive -
both worthy and overdone at the same time. It is readable and includes
some lovely images as well, but does seem to drag a bit at times. Obviously
well researched, I did enjoy it overall. And King Henri did get a lance in
the eye. What luck!
