I crushed through this because it was a very easy listen and relatively short. I liked the first person narrative HOWEVER, that was it. The timeline, while moving forward, jumped around periodically which was confusing. For a first person account, it got confusing when discussing the motives and feelings of other people. It was like, first person, then a switch to third which was odd. Some of the historical facts were contrary to what I’ve read in other historical books. It was hard to tell if the book was supposed to be historical fiction or history. Also? The image for the cover threw me off since Anne had dark brown eyes, not blue.

Poorly researched.

Well. Many historical facts in this book were wrong. For example.
Anne's second Family home was Blickling in Norfolk not "Blickering"
Also, King Richard III was Duke of Gloucester, not Richard of York, that was his father before him. The wars of the roses section is very poorly researched.

It wasn't totally awful

Apparently the editor didn't look for grammatical errors. If you can overlook the obvious historical mistakes it's okay, I guess.
