I'm currently reading Cassandra Clark's Hangman Blind, the first book in the Abbess of Meaux series. It has been on my TBR list for years and I'm sad to say it's a bit of a disappointment. The writing itself is good, but the author assumes that the average reader has a relatively good knowledge about the late 1300s. Thanks to recently watching A History of Britain series again I have a general idea, I still had to look up the details about Wat Tyler and the Peasant's Revolt. The author is also very descriptive, using the correct, but unknown names of things. Add to that that the story itself is slow (for me) and it looks like this is a series I won't be continuing with.
I will finish the story, because it isn't a bad book, but it's just one I find it hard to concentrate on and I keep getting distracted.
