Review: Whitehall - Episode 6: "Divine Passion"

Whitehall - Episode 6: "Divine Passion" by Mary Robinette Kowal
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

4.5 Star review for Whitehall – Episode 6, Divine Passion. I’d like to than Netgalley for allowing me to read this book in exchange for an honest review.

Picking up where episode 5 left off in this saga in the lives of King Charles II and Queen Catherine. If you haven’t read the previous five books, I would highly recommend you do. These are short little books that are written by different authors, but are brought together as through it’s written by one author. These are books are great for people that are short on time but want to get some reading in and if you love historical fiction this is a series for you.

In this episode the focus is on Jenny, the little servant girl who connects with Catherine. Jenny wants to see the queen rise to her full potential and will help her do so. Also Charles and Catherine’s relationship is still growing, all the while his young mistress Barbara is still very much present and her jealousy and self-centerness is still fully present. Barbara will stop at nothing to get Charles all to herself. Catherine is trying hard to make her relationship work with Charles and finally gets some much needed success as she puts mistress Barbara in her place.
