About the author
G. Lawrence
50 books287 followersI am an independently published author, and proud to be so. Living in a little cottage in Wales in the UK, I love where I live as much as I love to write.
The age of the Tudors has been an obsession for me since I was a child, and many of my upcoming books will center on that time, but I also pen the odd dystopian fiction or historical fiction from other time periods. I will be releasing all my titles on amazon, for kindle and then hopefully for print later.
I studied Literature (with a capital L) at University and usually have twenty or more books I'm currently reading. Reading and writing are about mood for me, and I haven't found a genre I didn't enjoy something about so far...
You can often find me on Wattpad or Twitter when I'm not writing...

Actually, 2.5 stars
Eaglets is the seventh installment in The Heirs of Anarchy series. Queen Eleanor of Aquitaine has separated from her husband, King Henry II of England. King Henry II is reluctant to give his sons any power. Her sons become furious with their father and have rebelled against him. Eleanor must choose between her husband or her sons. The consequences of the choice she made becomes very drastic.
Eleanor of Aquitaine is a very headstrong woman. She makes her own choices and refuses to submit to her husband’s will. Eleanor is also very bitter towards her husband and doesn’t wish for a reconciliation with him. I liked how this book showed her as a mother who puts her sons first. Therefore, I really liked Eleanor. I admired her boldness and courage. She was a very intriguing character.
Overall, this book is about broken marriages, motherhood, and choices. I did not like that this book was solely told from Eleanor's perspective. Most of the events are told to Eleanor rather than letting the reader experience the story for themselves. I think this book should have been told by multiple characters so that I could understand them and get to know them. As it was, I felt detached from this story. I found myself disengaged and was disappointed with this installment. There was very little plot in this novel because Eleanor was not a participant of most of the events that took place. Because of this, the novel felt very drawn out. It was also very repetitive. Even though Eaglets was a let down, I am still eager to read the final installment, The Narrowness of Death! Hopefully, I will love The Narrowness of Death more than Eaglets! I still recommend this book for fans of April Queen, Eleanor of Aquitaine: Queen of the Troubadours, and The Queen’s War!

Gemma knows I am not good at writing reviews on her books. The best I can say is after discovering this author, I feel a sense of giddiness and anticipation when I find she has released another book regardless of the genre she has written about. I have read ALL her books and as I read them I always feel I am standing behind a curtain witnessing all that is happening with her characters.
I first read her books on Ann Boleyn and found myself feeling the joys and sadness of this young woman. One morning at 1:30 my time (USA) I sent Gemma am email about how much I loved her book. Of course thinking I would never get a response. Well years later we still exchange emails.
Read this book on Eleanor of Aquitane and then take the time to read Gemma's many other books. You will NOT be disappointed but you will fall in love with this author.

Eleanor of Aquitaine!
I love the strength of Eleanor of Aquitaine! She doesn’t just wait around for the men in her life to tell her what to do. This is the 3rd book I’ve read about this Queen by G. Lawrence, all of them have been delightful to read.

So good. Couldn't put it down. So well written and historically correct. Can't wait for book four to finish off the story.
