I sit now in the chambers prepared these three years past by King Henry for my coronation.
The ladies assigned to watch over me toss restlessly on pallets on the floor. Silence, save for the wheezes of Sir William Kingston, the constable of the Tower, and his wife, who sleep outside my door. I am very afraid my hands tremble, and my throat aches with stifled sobs.
Although it is not completely accurate, it will get students interested enough to do more research on the subject. It draws the reader into the character's world, instead of just stating what is going on. The best part of the story is that it is written as a first person point of view. The most negative features that are shown are the jealousy and competitiveness that grows through the novel, however, in the end she is more human and caring once again. Meyer doesn't ask the reader to like the character, but Anne is portrayed in a better light than movies and television shows. Anne is portrayed more lovingly and slightly less ambitious and power hungry. This definitely gives a different view of Anne Boleyn than other books, but I believe it is because it is written for young adults. She is able to give life to each historical event, including the final days before Anne's death. It takes an excellent writer to be able to weave fact and fiction together seamlessly, and Meyer does that. I believe that most people know the story of Anne Boleyn, and this gave a more in depth version of it. I decided that I wanted to read all of the Young Royals books and began with this one.
