This was an absolutely amazing book. I LOVE history, and this delivered. Wonderful characters, fantastic plot, and everything came together. There were no loose ties, nothing left to wonder about. I knew a bit about Margaret Beaufort as a history buff, but this was incredibly informative and very interesting. It was not a book made so that you love the characters, or respect their decisions. This was a book made to help others understand how the Tudor line was put on the throne of England. And I enjoyed it immensely.
