I hate tragic stories but for some reason, I'm drawn to them. I bought this book on sale because it had the word "Queen" on it and I'm a sucker for historical books about royals. Compared to other historical books on royalty I've read, this is pretty good. The story is interesting, the pacing is good and the writing does not become stale. It implies a lot of things whose veracity I am not sure of, but it nevertheless makes for a more colorful, if not more romantic, story. But, like most books of this genre, it eventually leads to tragedy. For some reason, I was really saddened by the ending. This is one of the few books I've read where I really wish the ending could have been different. In fact, had she exercised her artistic license and changed the ending, I would have loved her for it. Life is harsh enough as it is. But if you don't mind reading about someone else's sad life, then I suppose this one is for you.
