This was a very fun story but not at all what I was expecting, I somehow missed that this would be a fantasy shapeshifter romance.

I did a project on Lady Jane Grey back in the day so I really enjoyed the nods to history (where the story maintained historical accuracy). Also the humour in this story, which is a big part of it, is really enjoyable. It wasn’t a killer story for me but it was something fun to immerse myself in for a while.

I listened to the audiobook narrated by Katherine Kellgren and it was immediately obvious that this was an American doing some incredibly exaggerated “British” accents. So while that took some getting used to, overall it added to the humour as well.
