My Lady Jane takes history and turns it on its head in the most delightful way I think I've ever read in a re-imagining. And taking it with that grain of salt it works so well. I found myself surprised at how great this book was. Taking the historical figure of Lady Jane Grey -- who's life is mostly whittled down to the fact that she was Queen for nine days and later went on to lose her head (literally) -- and changing her morose future was simply brilliant. 
 The authors truly excelled at mixing the factual with the fantastical and making it work really well. Instead of the tension between the Protestants and Catholics in this 1553, we have tension between Edians and Verities (i.e. shape changers, and those who are not shape changers). 
 The book blurb makes the comparison to The Princess Bride and, without reading the blurb myself beforehand, I completely agree with that assessment. The humor and the banter was spot on. I could picture the characters in my mind verbally sparring with one another as though I were watching the beloved movie itself. 
 The collaboration between the three authors was absolutely wonderful. I'm hoping the intend to make a mockery of other historical events (in the best way possible of course) in the future. 
 This one is highly recommended. If you wonder "what if" in regards to the past, Hand, Ashton, and Meadows offer a wonderful alternative.
