I thought this book was amazing. After reading many books on this time in history, I found it interesting to read Jane Boleyn's point of view. I haven't read much of her except that she was not highly though of by her husband or Anne Boleyn. Althoug the book is long, I read it in 3 days. Excellent writer! I would recommend all her books

Great book, it does portray Elizabeth Woodville as a very conniving woman. Highly recommended.

This book was one of the best I have ever read. Although it is fiction, it delves into an ancient mystery and uses history. I often wondered how a man like King Richard III changed so suddenly in his beliefs and morals to "murder" his 2 nephews. This book opened my mind to the possibility, and I believe truth, that the murder actually belongs to King Henry VII. Highly recommended!

Well written and highly recommended!!! The life of a woman who leaves her husband for a king. Interesting life woven into history. Interesting to read the authors version of this piece of history. Even more surprising to me, the lead character, Jane Shore, was an actual person.

This book is fantastic. This is the 1st book I have read about Spanish nobility. I have heard references of Juanita the Loca, this book tells her story very well.

Great book. Interesting on the way it portrays the woman who survived Henry VIII and how she helped shape the future queen.

This was a good book. It centered around Anne Boleyn before Henry VIII.
It is nice to read a book where the author is trying to know who Anne was and how she got that way. Highly Recommended!

This was my first book reading about Egyptian royalty and I was not let down. This book caught my attention in the first 20 pages and kept me up for 2 nights until I was finished. I am looking forward to reading Michelle Moran's other books.
This is more a story of Nefertiti's sister, Mutnodjmet than of Nefertiti. The story transforms you back to a time where a Pharaoh and his queen attempted to change their people's beliefs from multiple Gods to one, Atum. This led to disaster for the country. The selfishness of these two people and the consequences to those around them are astounding.
HIGHLY recommend.

Interesting book. A fact giving book about events of the murders of the two princes. I think you should be interested in the era and have a general knowledge of what and who the people were or it could be overwhelming. I would definately recommend reading it.

This book is a true story and it is shocking how women are treated in Saudi Arabia. Very well written and interesting.

Highly recommend this book. Most books about this period in time are monopolized by King Henry's marriage problems. Although they are addressed in this book, it mostly is about his sister's. More Margaret than Mary.
