 So this is the first historical fiction book I've read. And I will say I was not disappointed. "My Lady Jane" reads like a fairytale. Which is exactly what it felt like. 
 Before I go on, I'd like to mention that I know nothing about the actual Lady Jane. I know about King Henry and Queen Elizabeth, but hardly about Jane at all so my views on her are solely based on this book. Okay, moving on... 
 This was a super character driven story and I loved every character in this book. However, Edward actually turned out to be my favorite. I loved all of his chapters and I thought his story and situations were so compelling. He really does have a heart of gold and I can understand his hesitation to want to rule as King. From the beginning, I knew being the ruler of England just wasn't for him since he yearns to have more freedom. His story was more of a subplot but I actually liked it more than the main plot! 
 It took me a while to warm up to Jane since I found her dull at first. But she ended up being really likable. And I'm sure I'm not the only one here who can relate to her love of books. I like how she's passionate and caring as well as loving to her cousin Edward, I loved their relationship. 
 And I loved Gifford from the start. Poor thing has to live out his days as a horse though, how miserable. I found him hilarious and thought it was great how he loved writing poetry. (And he's good at it too) 
 The plot was excellent, full of action, romance, and magical aspects that I enjoyed. The "edian" thing was interesting, and I loved how it contributed to the comedy of this book. Without the people turning into animals thing, this book wouldn't have been what it was. The plot was always solid, taking so many surprising turns that most of the times I didn't expect. 
 And the romance was fantastic. What I loved was how cheesy it was, kind of making me feel like I was watching a romantic soap opera. But that's what made it adorable! I shipped all the canons in this book, ugh, they were just amazing. 
 I'd recommend this if you're into historical fiction. It's a great one!
