I really enjoyed reading about such an exceptional woman in history. I had never heard of Eleanor until PBS and this book makes me want to learn more about her and her family. Good historical content, but a little to cheesy on the romance side. Still a great read though.

Another good historical fiction by Alison Weir. At a few points in the book I thought it was very similar to other books on Elizabeth's childhood, but there are definitely several plots in this one that are not like any others. Very entertaining. I didn't want to put it down.

The first half of this book is hysterical. My bed was shaking I was laughing so hard, but it definitely got a bit slow in the back half.
I would still recommend it simply for how entertaining the first half was.
