DNF @ 20%
I have issues with historical fiction, but that was not my main issue here. My main issue was the writing.
If I’m 20% into the book, I should be hooked or loving the language, or be interested in any of the characters.
I should not have to wince at over-written descriptions, try to remember which character we are talking about, or be annoyed by a precocious child who just declared herself an atheist sometime in the 80s. The 1580s.
I’ll be giving this one a miss and redeploy my audible credit elsewhere.
