crystallyn 's review for:

The Last Tudor by Philippa Gregory
5.0

Told from the POVs of the three Grey sisters, Gregory takes us on a treacherous journey of royal succession until we are at the last Tudor, Elizabeth I, their cousin. Ambition, arrogance and betrayal fill the pages of this meticulously researched novel. Pious (and for me, unlikeable) Jane's story wasn't as fascinating as was Katherine and Mary's stories in which falling in love is a recipe for disaster. Still, the path which they walk to their ends is both fascinating and satisfying. And now, with the Tudors done, where will Gregory take us next? I can't wait to find out.
