This fourth book in the Thornleigh series was as good as the others. I really enjoyed it, without a doubt.

I think what I really loved about this book is no character is perfect. And, this is mostly true for Queen Elizabeth. She's mean and holds Isabel's child and she's a bit mean and what not. I like ti because I've found that in some HF books the monarch is made to always be the "good guy." Instead, here Elizabeth is real. Like she would have been.

I'm excited for the next. Unfortunately, the whole thing between Mary and Elizabeth will be featured. While I find this period interesting I've read one too many books about this part of Elizabeth's reign. Still, I'm excited, no doubt about it.

After reading this book, I'm more interested in Mary de Guise. I know a lot about her daughter and almost nothing about her! i think she would be very interesting to read about. Anyone know any great Historical Fiction books on her?? Or, is there a lovely HF author out there who would write one for me???? Haha :D
