Such a fun read as always with the dynamic trio of historical retelling! I’m interested in Mary Queen of Scots, so it was fun getting to travel to France, Scotland, and England in her name. A cast of humorous and admirable characters as always!

I loved the Princess Bride references especially.

Just like My Lady Jane and My Plain Jane, this book was so much fun. The humor was so clever, the story was moving at a steady pace and I adored all the characters.

If you loved My Lady Jane, you will love this book! Kind of a continuation of that story, characters come back

An overall enjoyable book. The romance felt a little lackluster (Ari and Liv's felt like instalove especially). Sometimes the jokes didn't land (I mean, come on, this book opened with a butt joke) and sometimes the characters got a little annoying, but I really did enjoy the last chunk. Definitely open to trying their other books!

Either they peaked with My Lady Jane or I've grown out of the series.
