I, sadly, had a hard time finishing this book. Maybe I should watch the movie?

I felt like it was groups of events that didn't really flow into each other but rather the character was thrown into it, but then all the events made sense as a whole at the end. I usually do enjoy a drawn out historical fiction but I kept feeling like I was missing something.

I did enjoy the main character, Merivel, and felt for him as he constantly tried to distance himself from being a physician but kept being thrown back into it. He was always trying to be something he wasn't.
