Rating: 5 out of 5 stars

Synopsis:

When she was chosen to compete in the Selection, America never dreamed she would find herself anywhere close to the crown - or to Prince Maxon's heart. But as the end of the competition approaches, and the threats outside the palace walls grow more vicious, Ameica realizes just how much she stands to lose - and how hard she' ll have to fight for the future she wants.

My Opinion:

So much happens in this book. Just so much. I wanted to hate America so much for a short time. I wanted to but no matter how much more I read I could not hate her I just could not. And after a little while one of my most hated characters throughout the trilogy I could not hate either. I just couldn't. I wanted to but the more the book went on and the more things happened I ended up loving my most hated character even more. By the time the book ended I cried and laughed and cried some more before falling in love with everything that all of the characters are in this book.

Anne Boleyn: 500 Years of Lies

Kindle Unlimited

Page: 327

Published: December 1, 2019

Rating: 4 out of 5 stars

Synopsis:

A bold new analysis of one of history’s most misrepresented women.

History has lied.

Anne Boleyn has been sold to us as a dark figure, a scheming seductress who bewitched Henry VIII into divorcing his queen and his church in an unprecedented display of passion. Quite the tragic love story, right?

Wrong.

In this electrifying exposé, Hayley Nolan explores for the first time the full, uncensored evidence of Anne Boleyn’s life and relationship with Henry VIII, revealing the shocking suppression of a powerful woman.

So leave all notions of outdated and romanticised folklore at the door and forget what you think you know about one of the Tudors’ most notorious queens. She may have been silenced for centuries, but this urgent book ensures Anne Boleyn’s voice is being heard now.

#TheTruthWillOut

My Opinion:

I will be completely honest I have always had a fascination with The Tudors. The man who had six wives. The man who left the Roman Catholic church to marry his already pregnant mistress. Is it okay to call her a mistress not really but since she was already pregnant at the time that they were married and he had sex with her obviously before his marriage to Catherine had been taken care of mistress is what fits.

Anne was an amazing woman during her time alive. She was amazing for the people even if many of them did not want to acknowledge the many great things that she tried to do for them. The fact that she knew that if she did not give Henry a son that she would lose her place on the throne. Everyone watched as Henry found any way possible to get rid of his current wife so that he could marry Anne.

A woman that did not wish to be the fancy of the King. A woman who ran from court for a year in the hopes to let Henry's desire for her die down. She was such a strong and powerful woman that died before her time. I fully believe had she lived a long full  life that she would have done so many more great thing.
