Review
3.5/5
Ever since I can remember I have loved history. In high school i feel in love with the tudors and king Henry VIII. I saw this book and was very excited to read it. I think Anne Boleyn is an amazin amazing historical figure. She is one of my favorites.
So its starts with a prologue with Anne in the dungeon a few days before her execution. She is talking about how she is feeling and what it is like in those moments before being put to death. I was so excited to read about this part. The problem was that it went on for way to long. By the 8th page I had lost interest. Then I got the the first chapter and realized it was sort of like a diary. After getting through the first few chapters, I couldn't figure out what it was. Its Anne writing about her life before she dies, but feels also like a diary with different entries about her life.
I liked reading the story. It felt like taking a trip back in time and seeing her life in a whole new way. Reading about her relationship with her family and her parents, was fun and sad. I just felt that the story needed to be trimmed up in places and needed to find its identity.
