I'm wavering between a 3 and a 4 star rating for this one. I can't tell if I really liked it for itself, or if, since I'm on-and-off working my way through HBO's The Tudors,I like it just because I can place all the names. Lol. When I first picked it up I was a little confused as to why there was a sticker on the spine proclaiming it to be "Spiritual". But as I got more into it, it's not just about Anne or Meg, but also goes into quite intricate detail about the birth of the Reformation, something HBO only vaguely hints at as something going on in the background. But at the same time, I didn't find the whole....Godly aspect, I guess... to be overwhelming; Byrd doesn't shove religion down a reader's throat, which I for one well and truly appreciated. I found Meg to be an engaging, loyal character, who puts others before herself, and Will is a perfect math for her, and the whole will-they-won't-they kept me guessing till the last. The book also portrays Anne Boleyn herself pretty realistically, I thought, as a young woman who gets caught up in the romance and politics of the time, and does her best to do what's right, even if she doesn't always succeed.
