The book is about the life of Elizabeth I of England and opens when her brother is dying and there is a possibility that the conspiracies of some of the nobles will manage to disrupt the succession. However, Mary does become Queen, although not a particularly wise one. At the end of the book Mary is dying and the popular Elizabeth is about to usher in a somewhat Golden Age for England. That's the history part of the book and it was very good. However, what sucked me in was the fantasy elements - The Dark and Bright Courts of the elves, Oberon and Titania in the background, and Denno, Elizabeth's elven lover. This is a fully realized and wonderful alternative world. Very annoying. I am definitely not interested in Elizabethan (or pre-Elizabethan) politics of the English court - and this series keeps getting deeper into them. On the other hand, I love Rhoslyn and Pasgen and their attempts to move to the Bright Court, the self-willed mist is fascinating, Harry's quest is fun, and even the villains are interesting (though all too often the only thing keeping them from winning is their own incapacity...gets dull). I alternate between "I suppose I need to get through this" and "This is fun!" - sometimes both in one chapter. Very annoying but I'll keep reading the series. And just when will Keighvin show up?! nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

I like these fine, although unless you're particularly into either elves or this time period they're not standouts. ( )
