Entertaining but not my favorite portrayal of Matilda of Flanders. She came across as self-absorbed and petulant, but maybe that’s what the author was going for? The author’s note put some of my least favorite scenes into context and made them more bearable. But if I had to read the authors notes to understand then did the author do a good job writing in the first place? I’m not entirely sure. Either way, Matilda was a strong character and uncommon for her time and that did come across. I could see the author doing a good job sowing seeds for what comes next between William the Conqueror and his son. But I’m not sure I enjoyed this book enough to read the next.
