Great ending to a great trilogy.  It could get confusing at times because the author uses the flashback trop quite a bit.  And in scenes with more than two people she uses "he" a lot. "He said this", "He picked up that" you try and figure out who she is referring to.  But it doesn't take long to figure out when she is referring to Cromwell.  Other than that this is a first rate Historical fiction/Political thriller worthy of your time.
