Ein weiteres Meisterwerk. Spannend und voller unerwarteter Wendungen. Direkt den nächsten Band besorgt!
Poor Matthew, the things he must go through. and there's yet more to come. I came to not only enjoy the story, but the history lesson as well. Tudor times have not been a strong point of mine and I already know much more about the rule of Henry VIII. Great book for all who have enjoyed the first two.
