The Life of Elizabeth I by Alison Weir

4.0

I've enjoyed everything I've read by Alison Weir so far. This was no exception. Key takeaways from this book.....Elizabeth was a B****! Manipulative, bratty, self centered and insecure she may have kept the country in relative peace and stability during her reign but I credit her councilors for that more than her. She was a good figure head and was loved by the people. I would say her greatest achievement was keeping her council consistent unlike her father who replaced lord chancellors almost as often as he replaced wives. Great book, Elizabeth I #worstgirlbossever
