    Juana La Not So Loca
  

*by M***D on Reviewed in the United States on October 21, 2015*

Juana of Castile, daughter of Isabella and Ferdinand of "the Spains" as called here, had a particularly difficult and tragic life, as did so many medieval royal women.  Although traditionally she is depicted as having been driven mad by love of her faithless husband Philippe the Handsome, it appears she was more likely inconvenient than insane.  Favorite "legends" about Juana include her hacking off the glorious locks of a rival in a jealous rage and, more strangely, refusing to be parted from the corpse of her dead husband which she insisted on keeping by her and sleeping with at night.  These types of scandalous and shocking tidbits are dismissed in this work as malicious lies fabricated by her father and husband who were jockeying for power and shoving Juana aside as the rightful heir.  Author Cullen relegates all episodes of this type into the "baseless politically motivated canard" category, although it occurs to this reader that at the least Juana must have had a highly strung and volatile personality for such rumors to have gained any traction.  In any case, Cullen gives us a very mild and miserable Juana, hopelessly in love with Diego Colon, son of Christopher of 1492 fame.  Although this man actually was at the Spanish court during Juana's time there so it is feasible they were acquainted, the thesis here that Juana did not promote her own claim to the throne because she was waiting for Colon to arrive and carry her away seems to be taking fictional license a bit far.But the great part about historical fiction is the author is free to fill in the blanks as she sees fit.  Apart from the sad fact that Juana was wrongfully sequestered for 50+ years while her husband, her father and her son serially reigned in her stead, this portrayal does make for good and literate reading.  Cullen has a good turn of the phrase and skill with characterization through detail.  One example of this is Juana being captivated by the "little pouches" at the corners of her husband's Hapsburg mouth on first meeting, but what is initially endearing becomes repellant as she learns the true nature of the prince to whom she is married.For another good look at this sad queen's story, I recommend The Last Queen by C.W. Gortner which is also well written and does go into more of the soap opera details commonly included in a retelling of the life of Juana La Loca.

    this book was a great surprise- for the first time in my historical fiction ...
  

*by A***D on Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017*

this book was a great surprise- for the first time in my historical fiction reading Juana isn't presented as "insane" or if she was, perhaps it was her mama that caused her to be a bit unhinged- very well written and engrossing- I never had much interest in the Spanish empire but this book changed all of that for me, think it is a great "find" in this genre

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Fascinating historical fiction.
  

*by N***E on Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2016*

This is a well written and fascinating historical fiction novel.  It is based on the life of Juana of Castile, the daughter of the king and queen that sponsored Christopher Columbus.  The novel includes poison, cruelty, rumors of insanity, children, adultery, love, loyalty, betrayal, hope, lies, selfishness, and more.  Wonderful book.  This novel deserves an A+++++
