Wolf Hall was a tough nut to crack. Bring Up the Bodies was an unexpected fast read and the final book in the trilogy is a little bit of both. I tried to take a break in between to read another book, but I should have persisted.
That's OK though, because when I picked up the second chapter, I didn't stop reading.
I can relate to Cromwell quite a bit, and I like that Mantel tells the history of Henry VIII through his eyes. It gives us a completely different story than the one told by most other historians. The one were the king is central.
I won't tell you too much about this book, as it's the third in a trilogy but it picks up right after Anne Boleyn has been beheaded.
I thoroughly enjoyed this read and I'm happy I picked up this trilogy.
