Bring Up the Bodies

This moves quicker than Wolf Hall in terms of the pacing. Mantel is also more clear in who her pronouns refer to this time around ("He, Cromwell"). I preferred Wolf Hall but this was nearly as good. Here Cromwell's power is established and his influence is vast. You see more of his crueler and calculating side here which is nice. The ending section is fantastic and I am excited to read the last entry in the trilogy.
