This was definitely dark, but I love a fierce female protagonist in my historical fiction, even if her choices are not exactly exemplary...

This was a weird one, it definitely sucked me in and held my interest, but at the end I wasn't totally satisfied by where it went.

There's not much new here for diehard Tudor fans, but Tallis does a good job of relating what we know about Jane's story while also identifying the myths that have sprung up around her. My only nitpick is some repetitive phrasing that I think an editor should have caught: for example, in the span of just a few pages we're told repeatedly that Jane's "feelings hadn't mellowed" towards someone despite his looming execution. A little variety, please!

Melissa_J Welcome, Mara! I'm very happy to see you here 😊 8y
