I did not enjoy this book as much as The Lady Elizabeth, mostly due to the length and the fact that it spanned nearly 50 years. I wish it had been a trilogy, breaking this book into two parts. But overall I heartily enjoyed being on Elizabeth’s journey until the end. The end of the book was a bit rushed but I understand since the climax was the Spanish Armada basically.
