The Lion and the Rose

I really enjoyed this book. It was even better than the first book in the duology. Kate Quinn was definitely throwing us some curveballs here!

This book had much better editing, characterization, plotting and more than the first book of the series. It had more depth, was more emotional and even more humorous, which I really appreciated. 

All three of the main characters were strong narrators. They all experienced growth and change, and the depth of writing was phenomenal.
