![]() ![]() ![]() The other misjudgments are acknowledged, but the fact that he hurt her on their wedding night is never brought up again as something he must atone for. ![]() It is still quite objectionable, given the trajectory of their relationship afterward. ![]() Not to mention, it was explicitly stated by her father to Randolph that he wanted the marriage consummated immediately, and I assume that she was aware of it, so she likely viewed it much like women of the time did in her situation: as a “duty” to be done. Through my experience with Balogh’s work, I have noticed she has always taken historical accuracy seriously, and the way the events of the wedding night played out is definitely not out of the realm of possibility. However, while the lines of consent are blurry at best, and she is hurt by the incident, I do not think it was as bad as some reviewers claim. Plus, while there is a futile attempt made to mend their initial misunderstandings, it does not erase some of the cruelty that took place in the early days, including the wedding night, where Randolph gets pleasure out of humiliating Eleanor. But unlike some of the other Baloghs I’ve read recently, this one lacked real magic in terms of the romance between the central couple, who seem to go from hate to love without much development. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() They killed the queen, her family, and most of the high-ranking nobles.
