No Happy Ending, Dec 15 2009
By Alex - Published on Amazon.com
This is the last book of the Tudor Novels and it's a very nice ending for them. This is the story of two people, Robert Dudley and Elizabeth I, both of whom had to use their wits to survive to end up as they did. They were a pair and they both knew it. Many rumours with around about both of them, concerning both of them and Plaidy doesn't skimp on those details. She even leaves it up to the reader to decide the murder of Dudley's wife. Did he or didn't he or even did she?Overall this book is better to me than Gregory's The Virgin's Lover (Boleyn) because this book is written just like a historical fiction novel should be, not a historical soap opera. Though some parts of the book dragged on, this is still light years better. I liked the interaction between Dudley and the Queen much better. They seemed like ruler and subject, not lover and obsessed girl. I also like how Plaidy handled the incident of Amy Dudley, though I didn't get as good a feel for her as I did in Gregory's book(the only thing I liked better than Plaidy's.) I also liked that she explored his other love interests and showed that he wasn't a perfect man. This book goes from the beginning of his life(and indeed before it) to the very end of his life, to show how his relationship with Elizabeth changed from passion to a mature love.
Overall this is a good ending for the Tudor novels. I borrowed this from my library, but can't wait to own the republished version, A Favorite of the Queen.
Listmania!
