No wonder I find many historical romances to be written on roughly the third-grade level. They're like...they could be kiddie lit if it weren't for the smut, because there are no big words.
When I find a historical romance that makes me think, I adore it and cling to it. Unfortunately, they are few and far between. Now I know why.
Yeesh. I'm with you--I learned a lot of history from novels, and from being inspired by novels to look up the real history of a time period.
