Pacing was a bit odd in that sometimes she would fly past years and sometimes linger on days. Liked that she used actual quotes as dialogue. Interesting take on Elizabeth as a young girl.

My aunt sent me this series. This is the first one. I had moments of enjoyment but found it a bit dry. Also, it seemed odd that so much time was spent developing certain scenes and characters and then the final chapter was a quick recap of ensuing betrayal and executions. It was as if the author had to finish up the novel in order to meet a deadline. I will probably read the rest of the series, simply because this historical family has always fascinated me. Hopefully the other two installments are more enjoyable.
