I personally, do not like Weir as an author of historical "fact" - her books, at times, tend to read more like "fiction" and in some cases, to those in the know, she has included "facts" which are blatantly "fiction". And yes, she is biased.

However, I do read her books to gain a balanced view - I believe in reading the good, the bad, and the downright atrocious. This helps to develop your own views.

(Don't get me started on her book on Isabella, wife of Edward II).
