Loved this book so much! The romance was great, first of all! And it was just too funny! I got a couple of strange looks for laughing out loud. I should also mention I loved the relationship between Jane and Edward. They were close family and it was nice to see that in a book. I really enjoyed Gifford's pov. All the characters were amazing. It was fast paced. A lot happened in 500 pages. So happy to find a new favorite!

My Lady Jane is one of those fun historical fiction books that take a part of history and rewrites it into a fantastical story.

It won't be for everyone. But it will be for people who want a little fun and like a reimagining of stories.

Jane is one of those characters that you immediately love (or at least I did). She is fun and very serious at the same time when it comes to certain things.
We get to see things from Jane's husband Gifford's point of view and King Edwards's point of view. The way they go about saving England and how they get so many people working together is amazing. I felt like we got to see each of them shine in their own ways and grow as people in a short amount of time.

These three pov's help stitch the story together into a fantastical and fun story that will have you laughing, smiling, and frustrated throughout it.

Overall I loved this story and how it webbed fantasy into the history elements of this time in England.
I cannot wait to read the rest of the books now and see what the tv-series ends up being like.

the protagonist's one and only personality trait is how much she likes books. she took the Myers Briggs and it came back BOOK. they had to invent a new horoscope sign of the book just for her. she is one dimensional and that dimension is book.

the love interests only personality trait is simping for book girl.

also this book has a REALLY white imagination of oppression, resistance, and liberation. also, a very hetero woman's imagination of gender and gender roles.
