So great!! I'm dying to get my hands on The Boleyn Reckoning now. Anderson really knows how to pull you in with a cliffhanger! 
 If I thought the first one was 4 stars, then this novel was definitely 5 stars. I think because I was already heavily invested in the characters, I felt like I had to keep reading and find out what happened. I think this alternative historical fiction genre is such a great idea, and probably all the more so for the Tudors because, personally, I know the actual history so well.
