Alexis Porro _lexis_orro — *Disclosure: I received this as an Advance Uncorrected Proof via Goodreads Firstreads Giveaway* I have to admit I had my reservations about this book when I started, it seemed to drag on and on about dates of ancestral homes and titles. I know that those are important for context later but they were given so woodenly it felt like a chore to wade through and assimilate that information. The 8 or 9 pages given to the discourse of who was the elder daughter, Mary or Anne was in my opinion too much. Understandably it is important to identify for the sake of a biography who is an elder sibling but I think the information could have been condensed without losing much credibility. I would have loved more information on Mary’s actual time in the French courts but regrettably there was not enough factual information for Weir to build on there so we get snippets of information of her time in France. Weir is very good at giving her readers the truth, she seems to be very thorough in providing her readers with the rumor and squashing it or enlivening it with facts. I have to say I was not really drawn into the book until about page 100 or so where it started giving more information that was not all conjecture. Sadly only two letters survive written by Mary Boleyn and all other information is based on gossip or court records. It must be overwhelming to an author to try to build a book around so little information but Weir did well anyway. Arguably the best part of the book, for me, was the last 150 pages or so and the Appendix I that lists her families successes after Mary’s death. We're even told of the more famous of Mary's decendants that have some very recongnizable names. All in all Alison Weir did a wonderful job writing about a woman that “all the world did set so little store by.” A woman that is touted as being the mistress of Kings but really probably had little say in if she wanted to be their mistress. Let’s face it a young teen would rarely have the nerve or even the foresight to say no to the King of France when propositioned. Later after marriage and with the status, land, and titles her family had to lose would she really have dared to say no to the likes of King Henry, a man whom no one said no to?

Gaston Piriz pablopirize799 — A brilliant, interesting addition to Sanders' canon!

Natalia Avalos natalyus — Of all the books of this type that I've read (Twilight, Evernight, Sookie Stackhouse, Betsy the Vampire Queen) this is my favorite. It's not a stupid love story with sidelines of interesting. It has mystery, great character development, and a fresh take on the genre. I especially liked that the story evolved around a strong female character and that the most prominent relationship was an amazing friendship. Then, only after you really get to know the central character, does a side romance come into play, and it doesn't feel fake. It's slow, unsure, and we learn things as the characters themselves do. Much more realistic than the "omg I see you and you're so hot, I am in love with you" crap. I'm not the demographic this book is targeted at (I'm a mom and working professional), but I enjoy the YA books because they feel more real, and I think smut in adult books is so contrived. Well worth the read! Why not 5 stars? Well, I only give a five to absolutely amazing work, like Robert Jordan or J.K. Rowling. So a 4 is pretty good in my books.

Luciano Batista lucianobats — A definite children's classic, and one of my childhood favorites!
