And I saw the whole long list for Plantagenet series; I thought it was a trilogy.
I figure she saved all the historical meaty details for that series, & saved this novel as Eleanor's POV.
And Petronilla disappears in this story, hello..
It was a good novel but I know that there is so much more.. Yet to get it all packed into one novel would be impossible. I guess I'm being wishy washy! ;)
I agree with you, Marie-it was a great read but I just want more now! Eleanor is fascinating to me and, though a lot of her story is quite sad, a lot is also inspiring. She did what almost no other noble woman of her time would dare to do-go on crusade, travel to various counties, govern effectively, and survive having had so many children. Actually, the fact that she lived as long as she did is inspiring in itself! I need to check out more of Plaidy's Plantagenet titles. Also, do you have specific recommendations for great reads about Eleanor?

The top toolbar has a master review list, click there & there are some in the Eleanor sub category. Then if on full web version you can search the label/categories on the left side -- drop down list for Eleanor
I always forget that, DUH, you have a HF review blog! I'll definitely check it out. I always enjoy our readalongs :)

Haha yes, that's a category under which I file a lot of things I should/want to do

Oh, I'm so sorry to hear it! I've read that a lot of bloggers feel they need a break after awhile. They want to read something with no blogging strings attached, I suppose. i can understand
What other Eleanor of Aquitaine books have you enjoyed? How did this one compare?
