Written on Silk

An interesting historical fiction novel about the "reign" of Catherine de Medici. I learned a lot about the religious wars with the Huguenots and the political intrigue that Catherine was a part of while her son, Francis, was king. I apparently started the series in the middle, and this seems to be a bridge book between the first and last in the trilogy. I will go back and read book 1 and continue book 3. The story was enough to hold my attention.

Written on Silk for me turned out to be not as good as Daughter of Silk. I will probably eventually read the third in the series to have read it, but overall the book was a bit dragging to me. There were parts of it that stood out like the poor massacre of the Huguenots but over all it just seemed to be sluggish and drag. There were a lot of mentions of scripture of course, but this was to be expected given the subject material however I felt it might have been a little bit over done and rather than add to the story it started to sound a bit like you were being preached at.

It is not a bad book just slow moving and I would have liked to see a bit more historical information put into than what was.

Another great read in this series by Linda!!

This book surrounded Rachelle's marriage to Marquis Fabian and how she had to fend for herself as he left to go on a voyage to blow up a Spanish supply company.

You could really feel the pain for Rachelle after he left!!

If you love 16th Century French History as much as I do than this series is for you!!
