Review of 'The Mirror & the Light' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
It took me close to a year to finish this one -- I grabbed the Kindle version shortly after getting my Paperwhite. Wolf Hall was one of my first Kindle ebooks back in the day. Like Wolf Hall and Bring Up The Bodies, I thoroughly enjoyed the imagery, the details of England in the reign of Henry VIII; however, it's a long book (over 700 pages) and the cast of characters as usual was hard to track at times, and slowed me down. I also was of course dreading Cromwell's inevitable downfall and execution, which was rapid, although foreshadowed in numerous ways in the previous years before.
