In Hilary Mantel's The Mirror and the Light, reviewers praise her masterful prose and detailed historical research, seamlessly concluding the Thomas Cromwell trilogy. The dense narrative and slow pacing, however, receive mixed reactions. While some find these elements enrich the story, others feel they impede the novel's momentum. A fitting end to a celebrated series.
