Tough book to read - very dense, lots of characters. I only got into this once I started allotting much more time to my reading sessions. I liked it by the end, but didn't love it. The writing style was problematic for me, I never really got used to Cromwell being “He” and would constantly need to re-read passages realizing I had interpreted them as coming from the wrong character. I also wish I had been a little bit more familiar with this period of British history before reading. I've heard that the next book in the series is better; I guess the fact that I want to read it is a sign that this captured my interest somewhat.
