This book made me obsessed with Lady Jane Grey. HOWEVER there is hardly any literature out there about her. I've even tried to write about her for papers, but there isn't even a whole lot of academic research out there about her. WHY? Her story is so unique. I would love to read more fiction about her. If you know of any good ones, please let me know. As for this book, I loved this whole series (even if the books are not technically related to one another). They were definitely some of my favorites and made me begin to love historical fiction.
