Slow in some parts, so I wasn't sure if I was going to finish it. But wow, I'm glad I continued, it got very exciting. I didn't know much at all about Mary Queen of Scots when I read this, and I found her to be a fascinating character.

I personally like it when 3 people tell the story (like in "The Boleyn Inheritance") - it's so interesting to see three different perspectives on one situation. I've read The Other Boleyn Girl, The Boleyn Inheritance, and the Other Queen (7 points of view between all of them) and I don't think I've found any 2 characters to be anything alike. That shows how good of a writer Ms. Gregory is, to have her characters all be so vastly different in their perspective.
