The Queen's Sorrow by Suzannah Dunn

Did not finish book.

Review - I wasn't very impressed by this novel. I really liked [b:The Lady of Misrule: A Novel|25673947|The Lady of Misrule A Novel|Suzannah Dunn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1435193222s/25673947.jpg|42208066] by Dunn, but didn't like [b:The Sixth Wife|1145645|The Sixth Wife |Suzannah Dunn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1349062381s/1145645.jpg|1133092] or [b:The Confession of Katherine Howard|7755381|The Confession of Katherine Howard|Suzannah Dunn|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1331418130s/7755381.jpg|10609392], so I didn't know what to expect of this one really. I think I always hope that her books will improve, but maybe I should stop hoping and then I won't be disappointed. It didn't feel as if it was really about Mary I, but about Spaniards in London in her reign. It also didn't feel particularly historical or period, like it could have happened at any time.
