review 1: I love this series. The author cleverly melds fictional characters into historical events without altering too many known facts. I like how she explains her changes to history at the end of her books. It makes you want to believe the Thornleigh's were historical figures because the author is so forthcoming with information on how and what she changed. one thing that did stand out to me though was her portrayal of Mary as the historical "Bloody Mary" when in fact her father killed by far more people and over less than she ever could if her reign had been as long as his. May have been because the main character was at court and sheltered from much whereas she was much more aware of it in this time since she wasn't as sheltered.
review 2: De volta à leitura de ... moreum dos meus géneros e época preferidos - A época Tudor. E desta vez durante o período do reinando da Rainha Maria, a Sanguinária(Bloody Mary).Neste terceiro livro da saga acompanhamos o cativeiro da princesa Isabel, ordenado pela sua irmã Maria, bem como as tentativas da Rainha em conseguir culpar Isabel de traição.Paralelamente, temos Honor, que com a sua família, tenta colocar Isabel no trono, e que de regresso a Inglaterra enfrentam um inimigo antigo - a família Grenville.Uma história bem construída, com detalhes e cenários bem descritivos, com guerras e intrigas que são habituais na época Tudor. As personagens fictícias são bem construídas e bem inseridas na história, e que conseguimos gostar de umas e odiar outras.Uma saga que quero continuar a acompanhar, e espero que a editora Planeta não demore a editar os restantes. less
