I really enjoyed this one. It helps if you have a little background on Elizabeth before starting this one. I searched around and found a concise history on Wikipedia. I also went back and reread parts of The Princes in the Tower by Alison Weir. Gregory never fails to entertain me and this latest book is an interesting change of pace, introducing a paranormal element to the story that Elizabeth was the descendant of the mermaid, Melusine. I can't wait for the next one in this series.
