The book I am reviewing today is A Triple Knot by Emma Campion. As a
lover of history and romance novels I was intrigued to read this story
featuring Joan of Kent. I am glad that I did.
Campion's portrayal of Joan as a strong female heroine, grabbed my attentIion right away. A little reminiscent of another favorite authoress of mine...Jane Austen. I loved watching Joan grow throughout this book, from a defiant child to a strong woman who took her future into her own hands.
The romance between Thomas and Joan and their struggles to be with each other while being attacked from all sides kept me reading late into the night.
The character of Ned and his obsession with Joan did also present many mysteries and betrayals keeping the the reader interested throughout.
This novel also had many interesting supporting characters such as Lucienne, Sir William, Philippa, Bella, Isabella and Efa that the reader could either grow to love or hate, often starting with one feeling and then changing to another.
The only thing I really didn't care for was the ending. It seems as if it ended too abruptly, leaving more than one question unanswered.
All in all, I think this book was very well written an kept the reader wanting more. I easily got caught up in the story through all of its twists and turns. I am anxious to read more from Emma Campion in the future.
If you are interested in reading this book, it can be purchased on Amazon here.
