Divine Lola: A Savage Beauty by Cristina Morató

My rating: 3 of 5 stars


I'm free I'm free.

I want to give the author a chance that some of it was lost in the translation? But WHAT THE HELL DID I JUST READ?

Had it not come in my writer's subscription box and been part of my book club this book would have never fallen into my hands.

Nothing close to the historical fiction Henry's Wives get.

I can say that I was very impressed by Lola's redemption angle in the last um 20 pages. And leave it to me to never give up on a book even if I want to pull my hair and teeth out rather than continue reading it but once I start I always finish so I suppose that was my tiny reward?

I did also find some human pity for her lost lovers. That had to be harsh. Being the object of so many mens affection then the ones she actually loves and losing them. All except the king. Apparently he is going to live forever.

I guess I will check out other reviews to see what people think of it but I just- Historical Fiction is my jam typically. Yet this one I had a really really hard time with it. Was Ludwig really THAT enchanted by her?

The visitor she got on her death bed though? Bitch NO.
I'd almost give a half a star extra for that part.
