First off I’d like to thank Netgalley, the author and of course the publisher, for allowing me to read this book in exchange for my honest review.

The eleven installment into the Whitehall episode: A King and No King, again is not disappointing. However, with these episodes being short there isn’t a massive amount of details to give out. Think of this as you’re watching one of your hour long shows. One of the best things about reading this series, is you have time to read it while you’re waiting for one of your children to finish one of their practices, or waiting in the doctor’s office . There great when you finished a book but don’t have time or want to start another book as you don’t want to be up to late reading.

Can anything go right for Queen Catherine? She’s been fighting for King Charles II, she’s been trying to adapt to the country she has come to rule beside her husband, she’s endured his mistress Barbara, and now Barbara has given birth to hers and King Charles’s child, and just to add that cherry on top, Catherine is very ill!
The suspense is building up nicely, even though if you remember your history, you will know how the story really ends. But just keep in mind, this is not just a history lesson, but it’s a story of hope, contentment, betrayal, love, respect, acceptance and forgiveness.

Quite a hard read and I think the number of different authors is taking its toll on the series.

This was an okay read. I like historical fiction, and enjoy the era written about. Delving into an extended serial just wasn't my cup of tea this go round.

I did not like this book at all. Not my cup of tea.
