Review - This final novel in the trilogy focuses on Elizabeth's relationships as Queen, in particular building on the previous storyline with Philip II of Spain. Philip isn't in this book as much as the previous one, but Elizabeth still plays with him, juggling relationships with different men to keep the balance of power in Europe.

As a major student of the Tudor dynasty, I was really looking forward to this book. Sadly, I was disappointed; as was likely the case in reality, the vibrant Elizabeth cast everything else around her -- including the plot -- into shadow. I didn't love it, but I will probably read it again *after* reading the first two books in the trilogy. After thinking about it, I went with three stars.
