Figures In Silk by Vanora Bennett

3.0

Overall, it was a good book. There were upsides with the intriguing character developments and actual use of history. Also, it gave me a glimpse into the mindset of merchants and the nobility of the time. The downsides were it would drag at times and I would want to take a break for a long time before reading it again. Plus, some of the characters were just a bit hard to believe. However, I really did enjoy the independence I saw from the silk women and how there were other paths besides marriage that could lead to success. I wanted to slap Isabel a lot concerning her relationship with Dickon but overall I had to remember that love can make us do crazy things. I only recommend this to people who really love historical fiction, especially the complicated monarchy of Europe.
