A triple Knot by Emma Campion
        A Triple Knot is set in the 1300s England and follows the life of Joan of Kent. The book starts out when Joan is a child and follows all throughout her life. When Joan is just a child she experiences the loss of her father and knows who is responsible for it. She must live through the nightmares and try to overcome the heartbreak.                                                                               In the midst of a difficult time in her life, Joan makes a unlikely friend in a knight. She soon promises herself to him knowing that the king has arranged her marriage to another man. Joan must overcome all odds in order to come out victorious.                                                                     When I first received this book I was excited to start it because I love anything historical. But I was soon disappointed, I found myself getting bored as I was reading. There were definitely some slow parts to this book. I was almost tempted to skip parts that were uneventful. But I did my best to push through them.                                                                             In the end I wanted so much to like this book, but I couldn’t. It’s a slow read and I just wanted to action to start up. I also found myself sometimes confused by all the characters in the book. There was way too many to keep track of. I could not finish this book for the fact it did not hold my attention or completely suck me into the story. Overall I rate this book 2 out of 5 stars.   
I received this book for free from Blogging for Books for this review.
