The first third of the book is really captivating but than it just really starts to DRAG. I've loved all of Rosalind Miles's books but this one was pretty boring. I also thought there would be a bit more romance in the novel as well, but her relationship with Dudley is irritating in that she talks about how much she loves him but than pushes him away. Much of the book is her talking about how she loves him but can't allow herself to have him & it just gets really old. I realize Miles was trying to portray Elizabeth accurately but in doing so, it felt more like a first person account text book. This is a rare instance will I will actually reccomend the movie 'Elizabeth' starring Cate Blanchett over this dull book.
