Some are covered in the afterword by the author, but some not, so don’t take this as being historically accurate in all cases.Īs to the writing, it is engaging to read, but I did feel that it was lacking in some storyline respects especially in the second half of the book. The basic storyline is historical fact but there are several instances where this deviates. This book, according to the title, you would expect to focus on Lady Jane Grey, but she dies about halfway through, so it is actually the story of the three Grey sisters and how Jane’s legacy affects her surviving sisters, Katherine, and Mary. Perhaps I enjoyed that one more because it was based on an idea that there is no historical evidence for, rather than following the historical timeline. I think I was expecting more from this book as I so enjoyed ‘The Virgin Queen’s Daughter’. They all encountered the wrath of queens themselves and this is a fictional retelling of how they all dealt with that and how the legacy of the Nine Day’s Queen influenced her sisters. This is the story of the Nine Day’s Queen, Lady Jane Grey, and her sisters, Katherine, and Mary.
