Gregory has a smooth way of writing. Her language is very eloquent yet easy to grasp. This book was no different.

You'll love the main character, Elizabeth, and her ability to control her anger but hate the way she does not stand up for herself on more than one occasion, especially with her husband Henry VII. Their relationship is one I'd call challenging. At one point in the story they both grow fond if each other, but it does not last. Henry's rage is repetitive and always about the same thing; lack of trust. It does get old, but no matter the circumstance the writing style is fantastic.

Their is just the right amount of imagery, believability of the life of the characters, and their dynamics.

I always love to read her books and though it is fiction, Gregory has certainly gone through extensive research to be as accurate as possible. However, I do disagree with the fact that Elizabeth and Henry had sex before they were married. They both were born from high places, are not likely to get it on and make any of their children *bastards*. From my belief Elizabeth was more dignified than that.

Read it and tell me what you think!
