I would like your opinions about Cynthia Harrod-Eagles, series of the Morelands. with 30 + books I just want to know if it's worth it? |

I've read the first three (total side note, it cracks me up the marketing "the first series detailing England's history..." pish - Philippa Carr (Jean Plaidy/Victoria Holt did it) - they are pleasant but not super amazing. |

I was wondering too. I'm wishlisted for the first one. |

I've read the first 3 as well. I characterize them as light reads, mostly about family relationships. History is in the background. It's more of a family saga. I enjoy them as a change after reading something heavy. But I really don't care if I never read another. It's not like I have to read all 30. |

This is helping, I have the first 5 wish listed, up until the restoration of CharlesII. But I think I will at least try the first one, I read the sneak peek on Amazon and it enough to interest me. |

I've read the first one, and I enjoyed it enough to keep and to immediately put the second on my WL. I received it several months ago and I haven't read it yet, but I probably will within the next few weeks or months. It's light, I agree. But it feels authentic enough, and the characters are just enough on the edge of national and political politics that you get a decent dose of that. I rather doubt whether I will read past the Tudors, as my overall interest in British history drops off the cliff at the Stewarts. A really good author like SKP or Chadwick could no doubt hold my interest anyway, but unless the series keeps getting better, I doubt this one will. We'll see. |
