3.5/5

So if you like historical fictions or fantasies that are heavy politics, this is a good one for you. Even though it messes with history, the author brought in names familiar to anyone who followed real Tudor history as well as the key rumour/public opinions of Anne herself. Really interesting concept and with it being so very heavy on the politics (and therefore relatively slower paced), I think it's the perfect size/length. I actually got excited everytime a character was introduced or mentioned that had the name Howard or Parr cause...well I'm a snooty know it all when it comes to the Tudors (if we've being honest). I really liked that the author was realistic with this though. The religious tension and family lineage was still going to be messy with Anne alive or dead so that being such a focus really made a lot of sense.
I'll definitely continue the series.
