😂 Hope you enjoy this one!
This sounds intense. Hope it wins all the stars!🌟
I’m looking forward to your thoughts on this one, Tina! I’m most curious!!
Love a great historical fiction. Happy reading Tina!
Great review Tina. Sorry it wasn’t amazing but I am glad you enjoyed it somewhat
Great review Tina - sorry it didn’t entirely hit the mark 💜
Great review Tina sorry it didn’t live up to expectations! 💙
Great review Tina, it’s good that you’re glad you read it despite it being too drawn out! 💜
Excellent review Tina. I've been trying to get into this one and appreciate your review. Now I know it's not just me. I need to finish up a couple of others and then hopefully I can concentrate on this one.
I do enjoy a tudor era one too. An intriguing review, Tina!
This sounds super intriguing. That’s a shame about the pacing and length but I’m glad you still enjoyed it. Terrific review!💕
A very fair review! Hope you love your next!
Ah, a historian writing a fictional work. They tend to add all the research data into the plot, which overloads the narration. Still, it is a good premise, and I'm glad you liked it. Great review, Tina. 💞
Terrific review, Tina. Your insights give us a look into this new read. Sounds like the history overshadowed the plot. Hard to balance when the author is so enthused about the research.

Yes, and I'm glad to hear it wasn't just me. It's such a great premise but there's just too much spoon feeding I think. It took me awhile to finish it as well.

I think you hit the mark on that one!!!
Nice review Tina! If it's a debut maybe the author will learn from reviews to tighten things up in other books.
Wonderful review, Tina! So happy that this book is intriguing and a debut by a historian too!
I often wonder why historical fiction writers use the two timeline format. 99% of the time I enjoy the older timeline more and wish the book was ony abut that. Fabulous review, Tina. 🤗💕

Yes the older timeline is usually almost always better but I do enjoy that format a lot when done the right way!
I am beginning to be wary of historians who turn historical fiction writers; they are so passionate about the subject that they don't know when to stop with the historical info and write a more novel-like story. I think I'll skip this after reading your excellent review, Tina. 💖
