A review by livdiddyliv
Tidelands by Philippa Gregory

2.0

Beyond the immersive settings and the interesting perspective of life for a poor, rural community under King Charles I/the civil war that surrounded him (which is a subplot at best), this didn’t really compel me to read the rest of the series. It’s an incredibly slow read imo, whilst descriptive detail about witchcraft and medicinal remedies was interesting, I didn’t believe in Alinor and James nor do I think their pairing make much sense from the beginning! I have been a long term fan of Gregory’s other historical novels but this was not it for me!
