The Huntsman's Tale by Ann Swinfen - 3 stars

This started out so well, and continued so for most of the book. But the ending just fell flat - the denouement very unsatisfying. It's frustrating that the author can't seem to master the art of tying up the loose ends of a good mystery. I will continue the series to find out how the budding romance of Master Nicholas Elyot and Emma Thorgold develops, but I hope the writing gets better eventually. She has some really interesting background in medieval practices in her books, but so far they have suffered in the plot department, lacking a good solid punch in the end. Book 2 is the best so far, I had high hopes after that, but even that story kind of wavered in the ending. However, I'm kind of invested in the characters now, so I will keep reading and see if she keeps my interest.

Might try out this series since it's on kindle-unlimited and I seem to need a book with flowers on the cover for challenges :-o
