Since I've read "Heretic Queen" already, don't want to read "The Other Queen" and only really want to read "The Last Queen" I think I'll skip this.

Hey someone should write "The Other Last Heretic Queen"! ;)

I tried to post a comment, but it wouldn't let me. Too bad, because these novels are really enticing!

Or The Other Last Queen and Her Chum, the Tsarina's Heretic Daughter.

I think that sound I hear is an agent calling now.

'Queen' seems to be as ubiquitous in historical novels at the moment as the headless covers. (sorry CW and Michelle). Philippa Gregory has gone Queen and Princess mad. Is it to do with the notion that a queen is the most powerful a woman can get? I guess I'm asking this in the wrong thread - sorry. :confused:

The only one I haven't read is the Carolly Erickson, so I am not entering either but I thought others here would be interested.
