I absolutely can ...That is exactly how I feel too!! I absolutely can not stand Elizabeth and it is always infuriating to me when I read the nonsense about how she did not really mean to have the death sentence carried out, blah blah blah. Give me a break. She KNEW it would be done immediately, and then she could blame her advisers later. I might be at least marginally able to respect her if she manned-up and accepted the responsibility but she never does.<br /><br />I really liked the book a lot, let me know what you think if you give it a read!Sarah @ All The Book Blog Names Are Takenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12507006809241347635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5080051275665594538.post-86889903596129218622017-04-05T05:37:48.707-05:002017-04-05T05:37:48.707-05:00I agree with you on Mary and Elizabeth Tudor. I al...I agree with you on Mary and Elizabeth Tudor. I always viewed Mary as a sad and lonely woman, bullied into murdering Jane Grey to secure the husband she so longed for, and having such an unhappy life in general. I've enjoyed reading novels more sympathetic to her. Elizabeth, I thought was a monster. Her petty vanity and jealousy that every man must love her and her only frustrated me. I thought she was cruel not to allow her ladies to marry for love just because she couldn't have who she wanted. Gah! Mary QOS made some really silly decisions but did have the better claim to the Throne than Elizabeth IMHO! I find these women fascinating so I think I would actually enjoy a book like this. I enjoyed reading your thoughts very much!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
