The premise of this book was incredibly fascinating: a fantasy book about the six wives of Henry xiv with strong Tudor influence and aesthetic, a magic system, and a plot to overthrow the king. The addition of a sapphic love interest gave me a lot of high hopes in the beginning, but unfortunately, I could not get into the book. The plot line felt forced in some places, and the ending was incredibly disappointing. It is such an intriguing concept, and it may resonate with some people, but I don't believe it was for me. 

Thank you to Netgalley and orbit books for the opportunity to read this book in exchange for an honest review.
