Title: Oh Liz, we hardly know ye
Product review: This book is too long! I grew weary of this Elizabeth and her co-dependent love relationship with Dudley. Such a simpering and sick romance. Where is the Elizabeth of courage, of strong will and true wit, of courage and character, of one who kept her head when many others lost theirs. She certainly is not in this book. although I enjoyed the setting, the background characters, the political intriques, the plotting and re-plotting, I did not enjoy the main event. Too much of the book was romance; I wanted a historical novel with fresh and exciting insights on Elizabeth and her times. Gregory has a great writing style and can tell a good story. I did finish the book because there was sufficient background interest. But I hope to find a meatier main event in Gregory's next novel.
