Fun with words, but didn’t like the characters very much.

Oh no! Big plot development so far-fetched I feel like putting it down. Will plod through but disappointed.

I am so excited to start this book. I've never watched the Kardashians, but have long read about and been fascinated by the Mitfords, who were similarly famous in the first half of the 20th century, but with England and world events as a backdrop.

Finally finished volume 2! Now on to William & Mary and the 18th century.

Just finished volume 1 (Boudicca thru Plantagenets). Excellent! Love Sir Winston's voice, and succinct way of telling a story. He's also great with segues and cliffhangers between chapters.

Didn't realize this was a young adult book when I checked it out, but it was a very mature subject matter – with lots of violence, though a quite accurate and descriptive historical setting. The reader on this audiobook was excellent.

Terrific historical puzzle so far. Can't put down.
