The Queen's Lady by Barbara Kyle

adventurous dark hopeful medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

I picked this book up at random while travelling not expecting much. I like historical fiction and needed to pass the time. The description on the back cover peaked my interest but I was sure it would be shallow and overly romantic based on the artwork. I was very pleasantly surprised that the book had real depth and passion. For me it is an adventurous story with a flawed but likeable and strong female lead. It is a thought provoking and exciting book that has stuck with me as a go to comfort read throughout the years.
