The stilted prose was getting in the way of enjoying the story. But it was compelling enough that I decided to come back and finish it. The pacing is weird and all over the place, and the ending was rushed. But I did like the darker, grimier portrayal of Mary’s affairs with kings, and loved her time with French Queen Mary. It’s also kind of interesting reading a Mary Boleyn book that isn’t a covert Anne book. Anne’s barely in this one.

Great reference book and love Harold schechter but shouldn’t have tried to read it straight through like a normal book.
Ugh just read lore Olympus instead. I was so bored and confused the promise of smut wasn’t even worth it. I’ll just find some Hades/Persephone on AO3.
Felt YAish and bland. Didn’t feel compelled to keep going.

One of the most realistic and compassionate depictions of trauma I’ve ever seen. Also way sexier than I was expecting.
