Eh...
I loved "The Borgia Bride" and "I, Mona Lisa" and was excited to read "The Devil Queen" but was rather disappointed. While the earlier two books kept me on my toes and excited to read right up to the very last page, this one failed to keep my attention and I must admit I skimmed the last hundred pages just to get through it. While the author is indeed an excellent writer and her attention to historical detail is supurb, I would only recommend this one to those with specific interest in Catherine De Medici's life; I believe those who like a broad range of historical fiction topics, like myself, may be a bit bored. That being said, I highly recommend "The Borgia Bride" and "I, Mona Lisa" and would certainly read future novels by this gifted author.
