Robert's meetings with Marguerite stand out, as well as one doomed character's musings on how we create our own downfalls. Druon turns in good moments here like he did the first book. Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you? That it's every bit as good as it was in the first book. What about Peter Joyce’s performance did you like? Phillip could be cruel, but Louis is just as cruel and much more bumbling. As far as this specific book is concerned, I liked how it drove home how very second-rate Louis the Hutin's court is compared to the way Phillip The Fair ran things. Thus, if you liked everything about the first book, as I did, you'll like everything about the second book. Going from that book to this one is less like ending a novel and more like ending a chapter then flipping the page. It has the same tone, characterization, prose style, etc. That everything that was solid in The Iron King continued to be solid here. What did you love best about The Strangled Queen?
