I can’t describe how much I love this book. As an amateur enthusiast in 14th C history I felt it was a must read, but I was not prepared to have my opinion of Isabella so drastically changed. Whilst there is a high level of detail and analysis of the facts, the book never loses its ability to engage and excite. The story of Isabella’s life is not known by enough people but cover one of the most dramatic and exciting periods of our history. Weir’s telling of it would pull in anyone from a historian to a game of thrones fan.
