Review: I loved it. Now

Warning: this book will be absorbing the more you know about English history in general and that of the Royal Family in particular. It can be really confusing if you are ignorant of those things. Having said that, and having been a history major in college, I loved it. Now, having some reporter as a character with the survival skills of this one was a stretch, but worth it for the richness of the story. I do not really see the benefit of a sequel, despite the obvious setting for one. I would prefer that the author take on some other era, and do something similar. Like, what if Queen Boudicca had beaten the Romans?nI have never seen an alternative history novel premised on that. I could write it, but I am disabled and on meds, so I don't care enough to do it. But I would buy the book.Anyway, if you have the background, buy this book. It is a great job of history, tradition, and what might have been.
