Captive Queen: A Novel of Eleanor of Aquitaine by Alison Weir

3.0

When I started this book, I really wasn't enjoying it. There were numerous mentions of sex, and it seemed like all characters were motivated by sex and behaved very rashly. It also seemed like the book was rushing. However, as the book progressed, I started to enjoy it more. I liked learning about Eleanor of Aquitaine, and there were numerous times when I fumed over how horrid her husband was to her. I did become invested in the story, and read it relatively quickly. However, there were many times where I almost DNFed the book, which is very rare for me. Even know, after finishing the book, I feel conflicted on whether I enjoyed it or not. There are definitely parts that irritated me, but I also had a desire to see where the story went.
