5.0
Walter seamlessly intertwines the rise of the Malevolent Queen from Snow White with the historical saga of the life of Anne Boleyn.
Crimson Crown is a story of women, witches, coming into your own and learning that you always have your own power even when they call you powerless.
I have always loved the history of the Tudors, especially Anne. Her story has always fascinated me from a very young age, as it did with many others. She is the most well known of Henry the 8th's six wives. What Walter has done with Crimson Crown is something I have never seen any other do before (and she nailed it). Knowing Anne's story and reading this I screamed, squealed, and yes even threw my book at the tid bits she put in about Anne's life that just elevated the novel to a whole new level.
I am eagerly awaiting the conclusion of this phenomenal novel.
