I finally gave up waiting for it to turn and grab my attention, but alas, it did not. In addition, the lead character comes off dim-whitted and acts contrary to her supposed "intelligence" that we are led to believe she has in the first two chapters. It is a very dark book, but plot wise, rather mediocre and uninteresting (at least not enough to keep me reading).

Like some others who have commented, with a title like "the King's Daughter" you would think it would have more of Queen Mary in it than it does. Frankly, a disappointment.(less) "

In fact the first chapter also leads you to believe this. The title would also make you think the book could possibly be about Queen Mary. But no, Queen Mary is not the main focus of this book. The story takes place during her reign and is about an uprising to overthrow her, but this is not about Queen Mary. This is about a young woman named Isabel Thornleigh and her quest to find her father who has been thrown into prison for murdering the father of one of the Queen's ladies. ( Her father killed him while trying to defend his own family since this man had critically shot and wounded Isabel's mother) She finds out some things kept secret from her about her parents. To help her in her quest to find her father she hires the very mercenary soldier who had been hired by a man in the Queens court to murder her father in prison. Of course you know she ends up falling in love with this man. All in all, a fast paced book with a good enough story line to keep me reading it. (less) "
