Well done. But perhaps not wholly accurate.

of the many, many books about Anne Boleyn this is my favorite. She seemed more real. Neither overly good nor bad. The sequence of events leading to her ultimate fall were well documented and understood. She was doomed because she could not bear a living son. But she was also doomed by a fickle and cruel self serving king. I believe this author understood the true nature of both Anne and Henry better than most. This version does not she the evil side of Jane Rochford. I don't know why as she was so instrumental in the downfall of George. It shows her In an entirely different light, as Anne's beloved sister in law! Also the author places George as a loving husband. No mention of his affairs with both men as well as other women.
Nor does it portray Jane's ugly personality and jealousy.

An easy read, maybe more asked for a beginner.

I've read more than my fair share of Tudor history. So I expect each consecutive book to be different, at the very least. This, unfortunately, was not. Felt like I was watching the hbo series all over again. p age after page of the same lines over and over. We all know how the story ends, but I love a new perspective on Anne's POV. This was not it. There was just passivity, no passion or fire. I probably would have enjoyed this more as a teenager first reading about the mysterious Anne Boleyn.

It shows the story from Anne’s point of view. It also shows a nicer, more realistic relationship between Anne and Jane Boleyn. It is very historically accurate and keeps close to the timeline of Anne’s life. A great must-read for anyone that is interested in the rise and fall of Anne Boleyn.

Easy to read

A few mistakes but easy story and not too badly written worth a read but should have checked a couple of things.
