" Most of you know I almost always enjoy Philippa Gregory books. I was excited to find this one at the library because I had not read it yet! Sadly, I was disappointed at how this book unfolded. The book is about Mary, Queen of Scots and Elizabeth, Queen of England and about the struggle of power and hatred for each other. I usually can't put Gregory's books down, but as I read I couldn't wait for it to end. The storyline seemed a little far-fetched even though some of it was true(it is history that Mary was beheaded by the Queen of England, I just felt the author read into some things that may or may not have happened. And there was really no big climax to the book! I won't read it again and don't recommend it. "
