Review: Historically inaccurate poorly written costume novel
Rating: 2 out of 5
Date: 02 1, 2013
I barely made it through this book. I agree with the other reviewers who questioned the 4 & 5 star ratings because it simply doesn't deserve higher than a two. I can overlook some historical inaccuracies if the characters and plot are good. There is a difference between madcap and idiotic and this author needs to learn that distinction. I should have stopped reading after the following sentence in chapter one because it should have served as a warning about the quality of the rest of the book. "She too looked forward to her wedding night, irrespective of the horror stories she had heard from her married friends about the male dingdongs."
