The trilogy continues with the story of Mary Tudor as she survives through the reign of her brother Edward and the time of Lady Jane Grey to become the Queen of England.
A well-written historical fiction account of her life, and a more sympathetic view of Mary than I have read before.

Once again not disappointed by this book about Mary 1 by Samantha Wilcoxson. Her stories are very well written that keep you continuously engaged. She does a terrific job of balancing narrative with description which is my favorite writing style.

I have read both historical fiction and non-fiction books on Mary 1 and this is my favorite because I actually could empathize with Mary rather than find her either a love stricken woman or someone who just complained and succumbed to her constant illnesses.

A must read for any Tudor fan. ( )

I really enjoyed this peek into Bloody Mary's life, even if it was through the lens of fiction. Usually, when you think of the Tudor dynasty you think of Henry and his *six* wives or Elizabeth I. Mary is kind of a bloody after note in the history books, and there were many things I wasn't aware of before reading this. In this book Elizabeth is more of a footnote, so if you're looking for the tension between the half-sisters, this isn't where you're going to find it. An enjoyable view into the life of Mary I. ( )
