The Virgin's Lover by Philippa Gregory

2.0

I was really disappointed with this read. It wasn't the writing, because I still got through the book alright. It was just the characters, especially Queen Elizabeth. She was portrayed as this mouse like character who couldn't do anything for herself. She was being played by everyone the entire book and she didn't seem to care a bit about it. She was so weak and malleable that I just really lost interest in her character. Not to mention that Sir Robert Dudley was an ass... a true ass. I don't know... just wasn't feeling this one at all.
