I've read only half the novel so far, and I can proclaim that Weir has painted a new and true portrait of the early days of Elizabeth. As I vivid tudor reader I notice the dramatic scenes put in or the gaps in history filled with the author's own intake. This makes the story even more unique and different than the average historical fiction you pick off the shelf. However, some were a bit to "over the top" with suggestions of Elizabeth not being the Virgin she claimed she was. A great book any way and a must read for any historic lovers.
