I absolutely adored this novel. Each chapter is tackled by a different YA author giving voice to one of Henry VIII's ill-fated wives. Interspersed between were Henry's chapters, giving his side of the story.

I've read so many books on the Tudors, I know their stories pretty well. There wasn't necessarily anything new in this book. However, I found myself completely riveted. I found that the Queen's perspectives side-by-side with Henry's shows just how hard life would have been for an intelligent and strong-willed woman living in that time. When your job is to just be pretty and birth baby boys, anything you do outside of that puts you at risk.

I found the Anne Boleyn, Anna of Cleves, and Katherine Howard chapters to be particularly good. If you are looking for great historical fiction, especially if you aren't familiar with the Tudors, this is a great place to start.
