I couldn't finish this book. Even tried to change the speed of the reader. The story dragged on and the character development was well, very juvenile. I really wanted to like this book based on other reviews and genre but couldn't get there.

I agree with a previous review regarding Character Development...I was also easily distracted while listening -it wasn't as engaging as I hoped. Struggled to finish😕

Good story but would have liked more of a darker turn. Light character development

This book was so refreshing, fun, thoughtful and emotional. I love all the female characters! Great story, well written, researched and beautifully narrated

I feel bad leaving not great reviews because it must be so hard to write a book... but I found the main character in this book so blah... as well as the story. The narrator was also very monotone - had to push through to complete it. Agree with another review -very little plot

It is very well written and I was curious where the story was going.
At first I was totally in the narrator's corner but it went down a weird path that was hard to reconcile.

Whereas we can only guess at the true nature of historical figures, it was a shame that Isabella was portrayed as a whiney, lovesick girl but perhaps for our time she was but not for her time. This was a struggle to get through and I was easily distracted while listening. Glad it was short.

The narrator Rosalyn Landor is as usual amazing and greatly talented. The story was too wordy and at times seemed to rely more on the description of the nature around the scene taking place and metaphors then actual character development. It was only my true stubbornness that kept me going -talk about perseverance.
