I started reading My Lady Jane because of the cancellation of the television show, and in a rare turn of events, I thought the show was better! I know it's unfair to compare the two pieces of media, but a lot of the changes made to the show I think benefitted the characters and the overall plot. The plot of the book is a bit simple and straightforward, very easy.
My biggest criqitue of the book is that it really felt more centered on Edward, especially in the latter part of the story. The main plot is concerned withgetting him back on the throne , so everyone else feels like side characters in his story, which felt wrong for a book with Jane's name in the title.
Overall, I did have a really fun time with the book. The tone is still cheeky and fun, which I appreciated. I did absolutely love how much G and Jane were obsessed with each other despite not having very much time together. Maybe because I already knew the characters from the show, but I loved them. Also, we were deprived of poet G in the show!
