The Tudor Conspiracy by C.W. Gortner

3.0

A few people's reviews that I have read about this book said that you should really read the first book in this series, The Tudor Secret. I disagree. I have not read the first book but I did not feel like I missed anything by not reading the first book. I had not problems jumping right into this book. My issue was in the beginning, I felt that the story moved slow. I sort of skimmed over it to get to the good parts when the story picked up the tempo. This did not happen until about a third of the way into the book for me. After Brendan was in court. From here things started getting interesting.

Also, I was not really into all of the characters so this did add some to the reason that it too me a longer time to read this book. However, it was nice to have Brendan lend his voice as the narrator for this book. It did make me feel like I was walking in his shoes. Which made me like him more. I have read a few books by Mr. Gortner and the one thing that he does best is bring the world of the Tudor era alive. Overall, I did have a good time reading this book. Historical fans will like this book.
