Este libro lo disfrute demasiado.
Desde el inicio se me hizo super interesante, el concepto de un re-telling sobre la vida de una reina, y que le añadieran la magia y el amor por los libros, fue la combinacion perfecta. Me emociono mucho la trama y aunque era u poco predecible el romance, me gusto mucho la historia de amor y como se desarrollo, fue muy tierno.
3,8*

An absolutely absurd and delightful story. I fully agree with the authors - this is absolutely how history should have happened.

Ridiculous but fun.
I didn't really like how the more romantic scenes were narrated but besides that the voice actress was very good 👌

This book completely lived up to my expectations! When I read the synopsis, my immediate thoughts were that it sounded unique and funny. I also love Brodi Ashton's work so I knew I had to read this book that she helped to write.
There were many things that made this story different from others that are out there. For one, the authors actually speak to the reader periodically throughout the book. I thought it was a bit bothersome. I felt like it kept me from being fully involved in the book as a reader because their thoughts and historical facts kept me from fully delving in. There were also times throughout the book where the authors quoted movies and poems that they clearly didn't come up with which bothered me as well.

I absolutely love these authors. They draw you in and make you relate to the characters in a way that a lot of authors can't. Beautiful, humorous writing that I cannot get enough of

I am quite the fan of Cynthia Hand and Brodi Ashton. I’d never read anything by Jodi Meadows but had heard great things about her writing. I’m also a massive fan of the Tudor era. I had heard so much hype around this book and was desperate to read it for myself. If you fancy a funny, completely silly, re-imagining of the Tudor world then this book is definitely for you.
It centres around Lady Jane Grey, who in this reimagining, is a bookworm (I knew I loved her!) She’s about to be married to a complete stranger. Lady Jane Grey finds herself in the middle of a plot to rob her cousin King Edward of the throne. Unbeknown to Jane, she’s about to become Queen of England…
The plot is completely ridiculous. Like really ridiculous. Yet I absolutely loved it. The authors work so well together and bring some real laugh out loud moments within the story. I think it has to be one of the most unique books that I’ve read in a while. There really isn’t another Tudor book like this. It’s one of a kind! Also, there’s magic. Magic I tell you. It’s so much fun to have this take on the Tudor period even if it is completely unrealistic. Who cares? It’s fun!
I love how we saw from three points of view. I can’t really pinpoint a favourite point of view because each one had some fantastic stories to tell and some very cute romances along the way.
If you’re looking for a historically accurate portrayal of Lady Jane Grey then this book is not for you. If you’re looking for history mashed in with magic and humour then pick up a copy!
