King Edward is dying. Best to make Jane his cousin the Queen.
But there's a reason to this and I don't wanna spoil it. Love Jane as a character she's very memorable she speaks her mind. She's a bookworm that loves knowledge.
She married G as her cousin requested in order for her to have kids as she's Queen.

4.5 stars (deducted 1/2* for a slow start)

Cover: Interesting, and very distinctive for the series.
Narrator: Wow. Katherine Kellgren was absolutely amazing. I was especially charmed by her channeling of Kelly MacDonald for the voice of Gracie. She los
