I don't like it when the protagonist is someone I can't stand and this sounds like a character I wouldn't like at all. There are plenty of other Tudor fiction titles that I could read instead.Christina Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07756342293865115352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-86095292163784767182010-03-16T14:18:38.321-04:002010-03-16T14:18:38.321-04:00Robin and Misfit - Glad to know it wasn't just...Robin and Misfit - Glad to know it wasn't just me.<br /><br />Dwayne - I can live with someone being driven by power and wealth, but there was just something about it came across here that I didn't like. I love Hampton Court as well - my husband and I went to England last year and that was one of the places high on my list to visit!<br /><br />Blodeuedd - If I don't like the main character she better have a very interesting story to tell. This one just didn't.Daphnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12838072651419264066noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-31645660021924381562010-03-16T13:27:21.218-04:002010-03-16T13:27:21.218-04:00This was a DNF for me for the very reasons Daphne ...This was a DNF for me for the very reasons Daphne and Robin mention, and I had enjoyed the first book as a nice bit of fluff as well.Misfithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05791628901417307647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-84479723446056880912010-03-16T12:04:01.240-04:002010-03-16T12:04:01.240-04:00Sounds good, but I do wanna like the main characte...Sounds good, but I do wanna like the main characterBlodeueddhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03435479623560871881noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3102594967020232402.post-46302388130185396582010-03-16T11:41:09.479-04:002010-03-16T11:41:09.479-04:00I've watched a recent documentary about King H...I've watched a recent documentary about King Henry's women and affairs, and I must say, most of them are propelled by power and wealth - I guess the protagonist maybe is based on that? :) Regardless, I uh, don't like historical fiction much-but I love Hampton Court Palace!

And I agree, there were some intriguing plot developments at the beginning that could have made the rest of it interesting...but they disappeared or fell flat.<br /><br />Thanks for the review!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13900579391813915664noreply@blogger.com
