Review: Fatal Throne

Fatal Throne by Candace Fleming
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Most readers who enjoy historical fiction will dabble at some point in the Tudor legacy. There are too many intriguing stories that surround these people, especially King Henry VIII and his six wives. Candace Fleming along with six other authors contribute to the stories of these royals. Fatal Throne is a young adult attempt at portraying these stories and would be a good introduction to these fateful tales. Readers will learn about Anne Boleyn and the other wives, while also getting some insights into what Henry himself may have been feeling. I will tell readers that this book portrays everyone in a positive light. If readers have never read about these women, they may feel that they were all wronged by Henry. The truth of the matter is we can never really know what happened. Fatal Throne will be enjoyed by most historical fiction fans.
