Book Review of The Red Queen's Daughter

The Red Queen's Daughter
shukween avatar reviewed on + 118 more book reviews


A lovely combination of history and fantasy, this is a quick read that reimagines the (apparently non-existent) life of Catherine Parr's daughter Mary Seymour. Mary is cast as a white magician and sent into Elizabeth I's court to protect and assist the queen. It strays frequently from history and is more fiction than history but still remains an enjoyable fanciful read.
