Skimming it, I've seen a lot of exposition, and a startling description of Henry's injury at Shrewsbury as making the blood run down his face. Surely the author knew that the arrow lodged in the base of his brain and took days to extract? It doesn't augur well for the rest of the book.
Certainly the historical Henry is a difficult character to write about sympathetically, and the times were hard, but the author didn't seem to want to engage with either her subject or her readers. Perhaps it gets better later on? If so, I'm prepared to admit that I made an over-hasty judgement.
