Elizabeth, Captive Princess | Margaret Irwin

3 posts | 1 read | 2 to read

July, 1553. Sibling rivalry has never been more turbulent and perilous than between the daughters of King Henry VIII. Queen Mary Tudor has just won possession of the throne, but her younger half-sister - the beautiful and vivacious Princess Elizabeth - holds the hearts of the people. Knowing this, Mary banishes her sibling to a country retreat, determined to keep her as far away from court life as possible. But Mary's health is fading fast and her power beginning to crumble. The people of England are crying out for a new monarch and it seems, at last, they may have their wish and crown their beloved Bess as Queen. In these treacherous times, when all about her lies secrecy and deception, Elizabeth must rely on her faith and courage if she is to rise to fulfil her destiny.

Another book with a love/hate relationship. I loved YOUNG BESS the first book in this trilogy, it was a five-star read, I loved everything about it. Now this book, there was such a lack of focus on Elizabeth and the secondary characters seemed flat, uninteresting, I just could not connect with any of them. But I did enjoy the author's writing. I love her descriptive style and the way she recreated Tudor London.
