review 1: Loved this book. As the author says in the Q&A at the end, it for once explores Mary, Queen of Scots before the craziness of Lord Darnley and Bothwell and gets at what she was like as a new queen. It is certainly not a boring bit of preamble. Rinette was an excellent lead that took hold of her life despite many international challenges. Hoping for a sequel based on the ending leaving that open.
review 2: What a wonderfully entertaining romp through the history of the middle 1600's when a very young Mary Stewart returns to Scotland to rule. When her mother Marie Guise dies, she entrust s silver casket to one her wards, Rinette, tells her to hide it and only give it to the Mary when next she sets foot on Scottish soil. What follows are the many plots, counter... more-plots, assassins, secret groups, political maneuvering and forced marriages. All that made living at court such a treacherous business. Rinette is the flower reader, she can read and sometimes hear the future from certain flowers and is more than once accused of witchcraft. I loved this element as it added something very special to this novel. I have never read this author's first novel, Second Duchess, but liked this one so well I will definitely read it soon. Also appreciated that the author included an afterword, telling the reader what was real or not and what people actually existed. less
