Super repetitive and annoying. The fleshing out of historical characters is always interesting and I can see how this could have been a great read. But honestly, it was just so repetitive and annoying. Some readers have been complaining that she hit the whole witchcraft/Melusina note a little too hard, but that was one of the few things I actually enjoyed. Perhaps historical novels just aren't for me. Or maybe I just need to find one that's a little less repetitive. And annoying. 
 P.S. Yes, I'm aware that I basically wrote the same thing three times. If you found that irritating, you may want to avoid The White Queen.
