Amazing

I loved this book it was amazing I already loved Tudor England and this was awesome

Very good book.

I enjoyed this book. It was a great way of looking at history in a different way. I will definitely encourage my daughter to read this one.
The narrator was fantastic. I really enjoyed her voice

You’ll want to hold on for this.

Oh my dear sweet Rose! How I wish I could give you a hug. This book made my daughter fall in love with Tudor England, fed her addiction to fashion design, and made her find a favorite author. This lovely story is well written and brings history alive. I’ll be reading the second book soon (my daughter has already read it). If you get a chance tell others about this lovely series and beg the publisher to allow the third book in the series!

Adolescent book

Usually I don’t mind reading books focused on this genre, but I couldn’t get through the first two chapters. It’s a little too adolescent for me
