Six Wild Crowns by Holly Race
2.5

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this ARC. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

This was very disappointing. I was excited for Tudor inspired fantasy but I wish this hadn't been a reference to that period. The history was so off that it would've been better to not have historical references at all. And don't even get me started about the sapphic rep. Seymour falls in love way too quickly with Boleyn, who doesn't treat her with anything but disinterest. The magic and fantasy felt like an add-on or afterthought instead of fully incorporated into the story and world-building. I wish I had better expectations but I fear the synopsis gives a false representation of what the book is about.
