The Queen's Vow: A Novel of Isabella of Castile by C.W. Gortner
4.0
***Won book in goodreads giveaway***
The Queen's Vow is narrated by Isabella de Castilla from her childhood through her marriage, children, wars, Columbus and everything along the way. She is a strong woman who will fight endlessly for her family, country and faith.
I enjoyed the book and never felt I was reading a man's words. It is rare than a man can speak from the perspective of a strong but realistic woman which Gortner achieves. Despite disagreeing with many of her choices I was left with an understanding of why she chose the paths she did.
