Reviews

[Sarah - All The Book Blog Names Are Taken · Rating 2 out of 5]

Seems to be billed as a reference book for those interested in the time period but reads like an introduction for middle schoolers. Overly simplified versions of events will still interest those wanting to know about these rulers, but if you already have a solid knowledge base, pass on this - the errors will only annoy you.
