I have read the other books in this series and really enjoyed them, although the whole witchcraft thing really pissed me off. Just another excuse for the patriarchy to punish women. Anyway, I loved the intrigue of this. I am familiar with the time period so the historically accurate facts were familiar to me but I loved how modern Frances is as a character and how that fed in to the story. There must have been women who were intelligent and men who found that intriguing rather than threatening but we hardly ever hear about those people. I also enjoyed the sex scenes which were pretty well done and enjoyed what an absolute villain Buckingham was. I know that it is pretty much accepted both at the time and now that he and King James were lovers so that part wasn't a surprise but the sex scene between them was, a little. Lovely work! Very relevant to my interests.

This is the last book in this series but I would definitely read more historical fiction from Tracy Borman, as well as her historical non-fiction.
