After a really slow start, I ended up enjoying this one by the end.I had recently read a non-fiction book ([b:Young Queens: Three Renaissance Women and the Price of Power 62039165 Young Queens Three Renaissance Women and the Price of Power Leah Redmond Chang https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1670260372l/62039165.SX50.jpg 97797648] by Leah Redmond Chang) which had some sections covering the Wars of Religion in France and the royalty involved, so reading this just after gave me a greater understanding of the political and religious issues at the time.As with other books I've read from this author, they are clearly very well researched and written. The history of the places really comes through and adds to the quality of the writing.The weakest part of this for me was the romance, I know there was a war going on and all, but there was barely a molecule of connection between them so just seemed unbelievable that she would up and leave to follow him then suddenly decide they were in love later on.
