“Twice in this novel the author uses a phrase coined by Benjamin Franklin in the 1750's: "God helps those who help themselves." No, it's not scripture. It's a new world saying in an old world story. And I thought this author was an historian?”
“I'm in the middle of it. I like it so far. The different points of view are very interesting.”
“I visited London Tower last year and they pointed out the room where Jane Grey was kept and that she had only been queen for 9 days and I was always curious to find out more about her tragic story, so I was so excited when I came across this book at Target. I did find the book a tad bit tedious but very interesting. It was a fun way to read all the history between Henry and his wives to the point where Mary and then Elizabeth take the throne. ”
“I thoroughly enjoyed this book. It put a different perspective on the story and made me realise what a tragic story Lady Jane Gray's was. ”
“Loved it. There were too many points of view though. I read on another forum she wanted more 16 I believe. Thank god her editor told her no! Still, the story was very good and I enjoyed getting a novel about Jane Grey, who has so few novels written about her, but who is very interesting.”
