This book was just...too long. At first I liked it, but then my interest in it just waned. I just couldn't keep my passion up. I loved the beginning. Jenny was strong-willed and really brave, so it was rather hilarious to see her putting a whole army to shame to get what she wanted. But after the inenvitable...you know, matrimony, things got really really boring. Jenny became some whiny person which was a surprise, because she was nice to everybody except her "beloved" husband, whom, in my opinion, deserved the most affection. Her demand for perfection from him not only made him the embarrassment and joke of the whole court, he was still gallant enough to think it all worth it, to fool himself to believe that all of this was worth it for his wife. Ha. Sounds to good to be true. 
 I also couldn't enjoy this book to its fullest due to my limited knowledge in the medieval customs and traditions. Of course, I'm just assuming that it's the customs which I don't understand, and they weren't some random, supposedly heroic acts which I'm supposed to conjure up strong emotions for. I don't see how a wife kneeling before her husband in a tournament should be some climatic point in the whole story, granting a standing ovation for the wife from the audience. Call me shall, unfeeling, but whatever.
