✨ You can read this & many other reviews on Reader Voracious Blog!This book is hilarious and exactly what I needed. I was suffering a bit from a book hangover after Crier's War and needed something light, fun, and romantic. I wasn't sure that this would hit the spot, but there's something to be said for a book calling to you on your owned TBR. I loved this book with all of my heart... I am obsessed!
Despite what you might be thinking, this book is a standalone! The books in this series each reimagine the life of a famous historical Jane; My Lady Jane retells the history of Lady Jane Grey and how she came to be Queen of England for nine days following the death of her cousin, King Edward VI in 1535.
"But what could one person do? Nothing, he thought. One person could do nothing. So there was no point in being noble about it."I love the way that the authors reimagined this period of history into a fantastical world full of magic. This was a tense time in history: Catholicism had taken a blow during Henry VIII's reign given his proclivity for many wives and the ensuing Protestant Reformation. But in My Lady Jane, it's a matter of Edians versus Verities. Magical shapeshifters versus the regular folk.
Told in the alternating perspectives of our three main characters by fourth-wall (page?) breaking narrators/historians who are setting the record straight.
