This book is actually three of Plaidy's former novels bound together into one book, since they all deal with Charles II and his reign. The first book (regarding his exile and time spent attempting to regain the kingship) had no typos that I noticed. However, towards the middle of the second book several obvious ones crept into the text: "he wanted to keen on the King's good side," "she was leased to see him," and so forth. These became more frequent towards the end of the second book and occurred fairly regularly throughout the third book. In addition the third book had some fairly glaring typos of a worse type: "She wanted to go I hawking that afternoon..." "Buckingham .e was fuming at this treatment..." Overall it feels like the proofreader started off at the beginning of the book with a glass of wine and ended by finishing a few bottles. The book is slipshod in this respect and this is why I give only 4 stars.
As to content and writing style, this is all very much typical Plaidy and succeeded in keeping me interested in most of the characters. I've never noted Plaidy to make a serious biographical error before, but in this book she cites "Monsieur D'Artagnan" being in command of Louis XIV's forces in a battle, and D'Artagnan is a wholly fictional character. I believe that in writing historical fiction, the people and known circumstances should be kept as accurate as possible, but known fictional elements should not be introduced into the story, and so this mention of Dumas' D'Artagnan struck a very false note with me.
