Painful attempt at humor with an interview of Eleanor where all that is revealed is repeated in the narrative afterwards anyway- pointless.
Did she really just explain what parchment is and how a wax seal works? Is this a book for children?
Perfect example of why not to judge a book by its cover- the book is beautiful with thoughtfully conceptualized cover art and patterned page edges- the content is lack-luster.

The rambling rhetorical questions about how Edward might have felt, or Eleanor’s possible experiences, make for pained reading. Also not impressed by the copious amounts of junk food the author felt it necessary to document. I believe this is an attempt at humor, or trying to make the journey relatable, but haribo and sausage rolls sound nauseating.
