My thoughts:
I love historical novels and the Agincourt Bride introduced us to the French court through a commoner. I did think the story might have been more insightful if it had been interspersed with Catherine herself as the narrator, but Joanna Hickson did a good job at letting the reader know about the controversies and life during the reign of the Valois family. I did note that the cover is very similar to the cover of The Forbidden Queen by Anne O'Brien. The model is wearing the same clothes and crown and may be a good follow up read to the Agincourt Bride.
From the cover:
When her own first child is still born, the young Mette is pressed into service as a wet nurse at the court of the mad king, Charles VI of France. Her young charge is the princess, Catherine de Valois . . . As Catherine approaches womanhood, her position seals her fate as a pawn between her brother, the Dauphin, and the Duke of Burgundy.
