I listened to this as an audiobook and I'm not going to say I almost crashed when I realized who Clariel was, but...

I am not going to rate this as it wouldn't be fair - I found it boring, hard to follow (I was listening as an audiobook), and stale. BUT - I am not a huge historical fiction fan. Or rather; not this kind of historical fiction.

I can respect the research Mantel has done and the knowledge she holds. But this book isn't for me.

This review won't be overly long, because I don't have the words. I am broken, I am shattered, my heart has been ripped out of my chest, and I will literally be counting down the hours until the next book comes out so I can go through all of this again.

If you haven't read these books yet, do yourself a favour and read them. The entire series is incredible, but this book in particular is breathtaking. It's as close to perfect as a book can be. It has launched this series into an entirely new plane of existence. I cannot wait for book 5.
