The Queen's Bastard by Robin Maxwell

4.0

I enjoyed this book - and I enjoyed the reader (audible). good long story - nice wrap around in the end. Little bit sorry that I did not read Ann Boyelin's diary first as it was referenced multiple times -but the writing was good enough that even though I hadn't read that one - I dont feel like I lost anything from this story for having missed it. (I might find out different later - if I go back for it and then follow up with this one a second time - but as for this experience - the book stands alone just fine).
Its very difficult to write about a person who is a person (and who has feelings) - but who is a Queen (and therefore - entitled - powerful and apparently emotionless)... this dichotomy was handled well in this book.
