The choice was made for her on the field at Bosworth, and Elizabeth the Plantagenet princess became the first Tudor queen. Did Elizabeth find happiness with Henry? And did she ever discover the truth about her missing brothers, who became better known as the Princes in the Tower?

Not very historically accurate

And not favorite Elizabeth portrayal. But that’s just my opinion. While I wouldn’t recommend, someone else may love it.
But the inaccurate historical points are easily googled so you can figure them out

a good mixture of fact and fantasy

A good mixture of fact and fiction. Easy to listen to. And seems historically accurate

Could have been much better

The narrator’s voice was irritating as she sounded like a teenager pretending to have an accent. The story was as expected, nothing new, so historical fiction fans won’t be surprised.

An often overlooked queen, great book.

Enjoyed it very much. She is the daughter of "The White Queen," sister of the princes in the tower, lover of her uncle King RICHARD IRISH. He was killed by King Henry VII who she married and became wife and Queen. And finally, mother of Henry VIII. She saw much in her 37 yrs, reversals and riches. She's important to history.

This is a sweet story and one often overlooked.

I enjoyed the development of characters. After falling in love with the Stars Original the White Queen and the follow up the White Princess I felt like I needed just a little bit more of the life of princesses. This was the ticket.
