And I really enjoyed the development of thecharacters (  ) shanus | Oct 13, 2009 |  A great read, one of my favourite alternate historical novels. The language is wonderful, and there is a galaxy of marvellous colourful characters. The depiction of late 16th century London under Spanish control is quite realistic and grim. My only criticism would be that the eventual uprising takes place with what seems to be improbable swiftness and completeness once the play Boudicca finishes. But it makes for stirring and exciting reading.
