I remember really liking it, actually because it centered around a page who was participating in a plot to free Mary. <BR/><BR/>Too bad to hear you were disappointed here, though.Lanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05727580109068393725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748159707491896359.post-83237539821097641492008-10-08T05:45:00.000-07:002008-10-08T05:45:00.000-07:00I found this book really disappointing as well.

"I'm in love with Mary but loyal to Elizabeth". Seriously, the whole book! My review's posting on Saturday.S.

It's a good story, but she has set the bar so high that I expect more from one of her books.The Tome Travellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02029464145365882799noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1748159707491896359.post-1735205270634419022008-10-07T20:59:00.000-07:002008-10-07T20:59:00.000-07:00I have this book on my tbr list.
