I enjoyed Court of Traitors, but not as much as I enjoyed the first book in the series, Ambitious Queen. The series focuses on Bridget Manning, a young Maid of Honor to Queen Anne Boleyn. The first book takes place during Anne's time as queen and there is lots of excitement to move the story along. In this book, Anne is dead and Jane Seymour dies early in the book so there is not queen at court. Bridget has married an older, fairly boring man and is now Lady de Brett. She is back at court and has caught King Henry VIII's eye. The plot goes where you expect it to, but just not as interesting. That said, I do look forward to the next book in the series with high hopes.
