" Margaret George explored the latter years of Elizabeth I's reign, which is actually pretty interesting territory. She devotes a great deal of the book to the relationship between Elizabeth and Robert Devereux, which may be accurate, I don't know enough Tudor history to know, but it actually makes for rather a dull book. He was bad, she forgave him--repeated in endless cycles. Until she can't, and he is executed. Then she dies. "
