I liked the portrayal of Anne here, even though this book takes more liberties than the previous book (but a lot of it is still based on the sources available). Since I read them back to back, the overlaps were a bit more obvious to me. I wouldn't say it's very sympathetic to Anne, but I appreciate her feminist views, her thirst for power, and even that she didn't like being a mother. The ending is horrific though, I shed some tears.

Engaging read. Definitely not a fan of the protagonist... but Henry viii steals the biscuit for me. It's interesting as I move through the series how he deteriorates in moral character. it's pretty sad, but definitely an excellent way to relive history!! Onwards I march to book 3.

Even though you could compare this book quite easily with most other fictional accounts of the life of Anne Boleyn, no other book has made me cry toward the end. I've always thought badly of Anne Boleyn, even though I never believed she was quilty as charged, but this book paints her as a human being, and not just a horrible woman who tore England apart.
