⁕ The authors took some creative licensing in terms of dialogue and characters’ internal thoughts, but, as far as I can tell, this book is as historically accurate as possible.
⁕ The use of different authors to represent each character made the changes in narrative so believable and complicated my feelings towards major historical events in the best way possible.
⁕ My greatest complaint about this book is that it is too short. Each character is only allotted 50-60 pages, and I wanted more information about their day-to-day lives and personalities than I got.
⁕ The stories in this book are NOT a great example of female empowerment (except for Anna of Cleeves), but rather an examination of the patriarchy and its negative effect on people.
