Hand, Ashton, and Meadows collaborate to write a snarky and not very historically accurate portrayal of Lady Jane Grey, who was the Queen of England for nine days. To secure the throne for Jane instead of his half-sister, a dying King Edward marries Jane off to a stranger, Gifford. But when Gifford turns into a horse, Lady Jane sets off with him on an epic adventure to save England.

At first, I had a difficult time getting into this extremely snarky young adult novel. Yet, the more I accepted its utter silliness, the more fun I had. The trio of writers brilliantly removes the Catholic-Protestant battle and replaces it with a battle between the supporters of Eðians, people who can change into animals, and those who think this is pure wickedness. With a Monty Python feel and plenty of magical shenanigans, My Lady Jane is a quirky lighthearted read. I particularly recommend the audiobook version.
