The Summer Queen by Elizabeth Chadwick
2.0
I seem to have the worst possible luck with Eleanor of Aquitaine historical fiction books. It’s quite disappointing. Even in my more generous moods, I have found the books I’ve read to be so dull.
I’ve enjoyed Chadwick’s other works but I found this to be so boring. It’s so dry; it was like being forced to read a textbook that was trying to appeal to the Youth of America. I guess I started to develop Stockholm Syndrome to this book, because around 60% of the way through, I started to become mildly interested.
I managed to finish ‘The Summer Queen’ which is saying something but was it really worth my time? I’m going with no.
