I dont know how to feel about this book.At the start i found it a bit boring but then it got really interesting .I got confused with the names but thats mainly because its explained weirdly in my native language .Now for the plot, when i firstly read the synopsis i though it would be crime based but its a lot more than that ,the plot circles around eleonora of aquitania and her life after her father death the duke of aquitania .As the story goes on it talks about eleonors life as a duchess and as a queen of he french court while simutlaneously trying to uncover her father death ,how and why he got murdered.

Sometimes the story is interupted by another persons story which is important later on as the story is ending

.The perspective also changes between eleonora and her husband Ludovicus VII but its mainly on eleonors .The plot sometimes furthers apart from the main poiont which is the murder of her father and focuses on her life and some important political instances which i dont mind
