Are you bored with it???

So much build up --/--- I can't handle much more talking of the impending doom to the 'abbey'.

LOL....yes, it is a tad melodramatic, I would agree with that. But I still enjoyed it most of the way through and the end was kind of satisfying.

[Marie]

Good, I hope it picks up soon

It does, in a "it's about time all this crap wraps up" kind of way. It's certainly not a bad novel at all, just not one of her best. Plus, we don't have to worry about her getting all pissy with us if we have any criticisms. Added bonus!

[Marie]

Queen Mary is on the throne! Lol. We who doubted Bruno, for shame ;)

LOL...I forget, did she actually refer to her yet as "Bloody Mary"? Serious pet peeve of mine: referring to a historical figure by a moniker that doesn't come into use until long, long after their death.

[Marie]

Not that I caught yet. Pg 307

Lol. I don't remember much about this except that I was fairly underwhelmed :p

Ok, pg 323 Smithfield burnings began & the queen had been given a new name, Bloody Mary.

Yeah, uh, not so much. Ha

The situations are fun, and love how she cleverly interwines the historical atmosphere. But DAMgirl is killlling me. *bitchslaps her*

[Susie]

It creeped me out when she referred to being able to see the smoke rising from Smithfield Square. Can you imagine?

[Marie]

That must have been a very trying time for people, I definitely can see why people started moving away... but persecution was going on in Spain too, I imagine there was strife everywhere. Hence the belief that America was founded for purposes of freedom (at the expense of Indians, a whole other story).
