A review by piperkitty
Wheel of Fortune by C.F. Dunn
3.0
I want to remember the text below:
Thanks to @Literallypr and @Claire.f.dunn for having me on this tour.
I really appreciated the list of characters and their family trees in the book, as well as the map, because it helped me keep track of who was who while reading.
The pacing of this book was slow at first, as it introduced all the characters and set up the world. The novel wasn't what I expected; there was little focus on the royal wars and conflict and more on the conflict between Earl Langton and Isobel Fenton. While I liked the time period of the War of the Roses for most of the book, I felt that both the plot and the main character were stagnant and not developing. Moreover, the ending of the book felt sudden and left me disoriented, as I had hoped that at least some conflicts and character relationships would be more advanced or resolved before the book ended.
TW: Rape.Child Abuse, Mention of Miscarriage and Stillborn
