They will kill anyone who gets in their way no matter how closely related. Daughters, were only born to wed someone who will further their Father, Mother, or Brothers political ambitions. The more I read about royals the more I see their lives as something not look up to these people are the epitome of dysfunction. This is my third book by Gortner and I must say I really enjoy his style, his writing has a nice flow and as I said the man has done his research. Gortner has done his homework, of course I’m sure some liberties were taken but that is why this is historical fiction not non-fiction. A fascinating look at the life of Catherine de Medici, I knew nothing about her before I started this book and have been googling like crazy to see what is fact or fiction. This is narrated by, Cassandra Campbell and as big fan of hers, I was a bit apprehensive because she doesn’t have a British accent ( Yes, I have a thing that no matter where it is set all historical fiction should be done in a British accent) that being said she was Fantastic and she has changed my stance on this ! Her slight French just the rolling of some r’s and not a full out French accent was absolutely spot on, I was glad she didn’t go into a full accent I don’t know that it would have been believable but the subtly she showed was wonderful.
