This was surprisingly good

Revisado: 01-02-25

I truly enjoyed most of this book. Good narration and story development. Toward the end it was difficult to keep track of who was speaking, but otherwise this was a nice, uplifting story.

Story loses a point due to one action toward the end

Revisado: 08-26-24

This was interesting from a historical perspective and I thought Saskia did a nice job on narration. The young 1940s heroine feels a bit whiny at times but I did truly enjoy Eve.

Nicely focused on Anne Boleyn

Revisado: 08-08-24

The story for the most part was interesting and included details typically not included in books that focus on all six wives. The narrator wasn’t bad, but, kept using a French accent for the Spanish ambassador. Which seemed a bit odd.

So happy Jennifer Ikeda is back as the narrator

Revisado: 07-23-24

I so wanted to like this more than I did. I absolutely loved the All Souls Trilogy. This just doesn’t hold a candle. There are some gaps in the story, puzzling gaps. There are other things that just seem out of character for Diana. And Matthew disappears in the background. But Jennifer helps it to at least be digestible as a book.

I haven’t read it, Jude Devereaux book in quite some time. So this was a delightful surprise. I loved every moment of it. Great characters. Lots of good detail. Thank you.

I liked the idea of this

Revisado: 07-05-24

The execution however, was not quite what I hoped for. The various stories of the queen's are not told with historical accuracy. Perhaps that was the purpose of the book (??) If so, then okay, they did indeed make changes, but there were things they changed that just left me scratching my head. Why on earth make those particular changes? They did not add to the story or provide clarity / insights / understanding of these historical women. Neither did the pieces specifically written in Henry's point of view.

If you are looking for a completely different telling of these pieces of history, then this book is for you. Enjoy! If you are looking for historical accuracy you may wish to pass this one by.

Somewhat disappointing

Revisado: 05-08-24

Some of the story was very engaging. But other parts were just dull. Although the narrator has a lovely husky, smoky voice, she didn’t do enough variations in the way she did the characters to be able to tell who was speaking at any given time. Sometimes she just lost me all together. There was a big change in what was going on and I missed it because her voice, although pleasant was somnambulant. I wanted to like this more than I did.

Very interesting - up until the last quarter

Revisado: 04-06-24

This author used to be an automatic buy for me for many years. So when I saw the title pop-up I immediately went to take a look at it. The premise was intriguing and the sample was good. So I purchased the book. I really enjoyed about three quarters of the book. Well written. All kinds of great historical detail that I had never encountered before. But in the last quarter of the book we veered off into some disturbing contemporary political correctness. I would have greatly appreciated understanding prior to purchase what the focus of the last portion of the book would be.

Failing that, I just suffered through the end wincing through many of the concepts espoused. This book managed to be interesting and very disappointing at the same time.

Not a very good book

Revisado: 03-24-24

Starts out with a very interesting concept but then devolves into interview with a werewolf. Ugh.
