Overall a very enjoyable historical short story to whet ones appetite. The verbiage felt right for the era and I was impressed with correct terminology being applied in more than one place. There were a few POV shifts, but it felt more of a narration so it didn’t feel jarring after the first time it happened. I could for sure see reading and enjoying more about Jack and Richard as Elisabeth comes to power. The brutality of the era was well depicted. It was a bit jerky at times following from one year to another without any introduction or transition, but I appreciated the writing style was very succinct and to the point. I jumped at the chance to read this and it was very enjoyable. I would like to start off by saying I love Tudor history.
