Philippa Gregory despises Elizabeth. I’ve noticed an incredibly nasty portrayal of her in three different Gregory books! Glad it’s not just me.

I enjoyed reading your review – it will help me to not get my hopes TOO high for this book, although I love Philippa Gregory’s books, and Mary Queen of Scots is a family favorite as she was a VERY distant relative many times removed, but it still makes it neat!

Great review! ~ Wendi

This sounds like such an amazing book! I’ve read Queen’s Fool and The Other Boleyn Girl by this author.

When I saw Gregory at the National Book Festival, I really wanted to ask her if she (not-so) secretly hates Elizabeth I because I feel like she portrays her negatively in every book! I hate that this book wasn’t that great, but I’ll still be reading it!

I just finished this and still have to write my own review, but I have to say that I totally agree with you. I am a huge fan of PG and have read all of her books. I think her mistake was picking a time frame that, despite intrique and plotting, was just basically boring. Other than moving back and forth from places of confinement and a platonic love affair, there’s not much action. It’s hard to make excitement out of years of imprisonment, no matter how much plotting is going on. I was not a bad book but definately my least favorite of her titles.

All of Gregory’s books are standalone.

I was just wondering is this a stand alone book or do you have to read the other books too? Sorry for the silly question. The other books sound really good.
