Juliana Bravin julianabravin — I think it's the mark of a truly amazing author who can make her passion for the subject matter come alive for a reader -- any reader -- whether they happen to share that passion or not. Let me explain: I have to admit that, although I'm a huge anglophile, I haven't taken much more than a passing interest in British history, especially before the Regency era. I know a bit about Henry VIII and his wives, and I find it intriguing, but I wouldn't say I've gone out of my way to learn more. Katherine Longshore clearly knows a lot about the Tudors, which is very cool in and of itself. But what's truly remarkable is how she makes the king's court come completely alive in this book. Everything from the sumptuous clothes to the sinister inner workings to the complex and timeless human emotions that drove it all. I was so invested in this story and its main character, that I found myself rather glad that I didn't know the actual history very well -- because I very much wanted Longshore to tell it to me. And she did. In an ingenious and thoroughly entertaining way. I love, love, loved this lush and thrilling book.

Aleksandar Sabados lexab021 — A great way to read Pride and Prejudice at least one time. You learn more about the time period. It is very educational. Full of maps, pictures, definitions, explanations, and a chronology of the story. Now the next time I read Pride and Prejudice I will have a better understanding of what is going on.

Mahmoud Nassar _assar12 — I got this book because it was listed as a recommendation for people who like retellings of, or new takes on classic fairy tales. I agree with the recommendation, and I liked many things about the book. It deals with what happens after the hero gets the title, the lands and the princess... "Happily Ever After" isn't always that simple. I liked how the simple country lad has to deal with the cutthroat politics of court, and 'his' princess, Gail, is a woman with a mind of her own. The plot is just enough classic fairy tale and just enough original story. It deals well with the complexity of emotional relationships between fathers and sons. About halfway through, I thought I might be giving it 5 stars. But I'm not. First, the book suffered from a heavy-handed and gratuitous injection of religion. (Basically, the message is: you might not need God when things are easy, but when the going gets tough, you'll need faith to get you through. Bleah to that.) However, although that was annoying, it wasn't too big a deal. My biggest complaint is: Stewart sets up a realistic and meaningful dilemma: Our Hero and the Princess love each other dearly. However, Our Hero wants a son, and to be a father. Gail, on the other hand, has no interest in children, wants to travel the world, be independent, and does NOT want to be a mother. So, how does Stewart deal with this problem? Um, Gail changes her mind. For no apparent reason. It's just like, at the end, "oh well, I guess having kids won't be so bad after all." Huge cop-out, and failure to meaningfully interact with an issue that is usually a dealbreaker in real relationships.
