The writing is interesting and clear. I feel that there was much substance in the facts, theories, and character descriptions. This book is filled cover-to-cover with good stories and neat tid-bits, many of which were new to me. This author's writing style was engaging. I felt no space was wasted, and that the story was told efficiently, with a fulfilling and thoughtful ending.
I really enjoyed the author's analysis of the different projections and portrayals of Elizabeth I, Jane Gray, and Francis Brandon, from different perspectives at different times. I really learned much about Francis in this book. Excitedly, I look forward to reading more from this author.
