Learwife by J.R. Thorp
2.0
sad slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Character
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: No
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

A bleak, repetitive retelling of nothing.

I wanted to enjoy this story so much, it is said to be an untold story. But it tells very little beyond a bitter woman wrongly accused slowly falling into dementia.

There was no light to uplift the dark of this book. There was so much repetition and I found it such a hard slog to push through.

The writing style is good but there was no substance to the story, beyond bitter disappointment for the Queen and for the reader.
