Negative Positive
Title: A consuming read
Review: If you love intrigue, romance, and 16th century court, this is a wonderful book to read. I read it using all of my free time for three days (until I was done) and I am planning to read the books that come after. The best thing about this book is that it is not a meaningless tale of romance or mystery - it is based on solid facts in history, and yet is so personal and detailed that it is hard not to become attached to the characters. The story highlights all of the most basic human drives and emotions - lust, love, hunger for power and fortune, hate, jealousy, fear, and loneliness. It is a tale of two women, two sisters, one who will do anything to obtain a place of power, and another who struggles but learns to stay true to her self. It is a tale of many men, some driven by desire for power, some by lust, some by love. It is a tale of one king - Henry VIII - and his development from a selfish child into a tyrant.
