Disturbing, but very thought provoking. I liked it.

well holy crap that was amazing

holy crap. wow. my mind is blown.

Regan! I've got tears in my eyes! Once again, I can't believe I haven't reviewed this earlier...

That ending was just so perfect! So bittersweet and so dark and so twisted, yet so perfect! Great job!

Regan, I'm rereading this and stunned that I haven't reviewed it before...I love this...it's so dark and twisted and yet so compelling. I'm honoured to have brainstormed with you on it and yet again, I'm in shock at the beauty of your writing. Your little Anne is so adorable!

Oh my goodness this was so interesting. I am surprised that Thomas Boleyn would be willing to poison his daughter just to save her from being killed at the hands of the King.

This was SO good. I cannot even recover from this. I am so sorry I didn't even read this sooner. This could have stood alone as a one-shot but the three part made this so much better. Thomas Boleyn's POV is not one I've ever really read, especially this way, but you knocked it out of the park. You made his relationship with Anne beautiful in this sick, twisted way, and the last scene you wrote... the scene where you killed her, the quiet understanding, the way you tied it into the classics, it was just PERFECT.

Oh my goodness – I’ve no idea how I didn’t realize you had a new story, but this… You’ve combined two of my favorite things, Greek myth and Tudor England, and it was incredibly powerful. By the end I was in tears. Poor, poor Anne. Despite Thomas Boleyn being despicable, especially in his murder of not only is own child but Henry’s child, too… I can’t help but wonder if things would have been better – for everyone – this way. No horrible early death for Anne (well…depending on how you look at it); for Jane Seymour; for Kathryn Howard; for Mary, for Edward, for George and the other men.

Despite the horror of this kind of crime, it is thought-provoking. I suppose, as readers, we have to consider that Anne was going to die a much crueler death anyway – in some respects, at least. It makes me wonder, too, if Henry did still love her, somewhere down deep, when he sent her to the Tower and signed that warrant, or if he truly believed the rubbish they fed him.

As usual, an incredible and chilling story, and one that really makes you think.

That was deep. Serious and thought provoking. Great writing. Thanks for sharing!

Yeesh... This was dark. And yet lovely as well. I knew by the title that things weren't going to end well for Anne, but I'm glad at least the Elizabeth was made Queen, and Henry didn't marry Jane *Sneers*. Love all your fics, thank you for taking the time to write because they are amazing.

Q.N.

Oh. I suspected, when he was wondering if Mary knew, but I didn't...

Oh.

That- that- how dare he. He killed her, how dare he...

This was...oh.

Dear God. What an ending. I'm not surprised, somehow, that Mary worked it out, or that Boleyn killed her too. The part about his lack of any relationship with his other children was interesting, and the flashback to Anne's murder was... downright chilling.

I don't think she would have chosen death if he asked her :( seriously a tear fell reading that, so heartbreaking.

Elizabeth was always destined to have her golden age, so she didn't need for this horrible man to intervene on her behalf. I can't decide if I prefer for Anne to die this way or the way she died. I guess in both circumstances she did not feel pain, but at least this way she was not disgraced, and innocent men were not murdered.

This was very enjoyable to read, thank you so much for sharing. I adore your stories and am so into be careful what you wish for right now, it's brilliant!

This story is so beautiful!

really powerful story. Fantastically conceived and written. Boleyn is chilling without being evil. And Henry reacted exactly the way I would picture him reacting, had something like this happened in his life.
