Dissolution

Slow build up and a lot of learning but a rewarding tale

I know nothing about the 1500s and only remember Henry VIII and Oliver Cromwell as passing names from my high school history lessons. Therefore the religions and politics during this time had to be learnt almost from fresh so the first 200 pages were quite the slog for me.

The remainder of the book was a treat though and the pace really picked up which brought my score up from probably 3/5 to 4/5.

I loved the flawed main character(s) and look forward to reading the sequels to find out more about them.

Nasty church business
only kings can cut heads off
jesus told him so.
