Oh my God, this was so beautiful.
I admit I had avoided reading this story because the premise seemed so sad. But though it has very sad parts, it is such a fulfilling story. Your story telling is beautiful and I also enjoyed learning a bit more about history.
Thank you for sharing your work!

I re-read your stories probably once a year and this one especially never fails to disappoint. Thank you for sharing these with us - each tale is more marvellous than the last.

I love your stories so much. They are such a delight. I re-read written in the stars whenever I can. When I found out that you had another story with supernatural elements, I couldn't wait to devour it! I like the character growth that Edward has. I like how Bella who starts off as someone incapable of hatred ends up hating. I like the world building and the efforts to make others lives better by Edward and Bella. Thank you so much for sharing this with us for free.

Amazing story!

this story is a true treasure. its wonderful thank you so much for writing this, you are a great writer.

oh my god this story is a gem

I enjoyed reading this very much. This was so interesting. I especially loved your history notes at the end of the chapters. I've always enjoyed reading about history, especially if it's about royalty. I really loved that you combined the story of the Tudors and my favorite twilight characters. You are a very talented writer. I've never read anything like this. Your stories really are amazing. This is now one of my most favorite fanfic stories. Thank you so much for sharing!

I could not finish this story is quite tedious but OMG how beautiful the end of chapter 42 is just beautiful, thank you very much for sharing. The history the data and information you gave us I love

: )

You are such a brilliant writer, and the historical research you have done is so impressive. You really brought to life a time period I previously did not connect with, and I cannot gush enough about how you incorporate the historical aspects to your work. Truly blown away by your talents, and I thank you for the story. I feel so connected to the rich world that you have breathed life into!

Amazing story.A perfect blend of fairytale and history. Also heartbreakingly beautiful with perfect ending

Loved this story, sad at times but still loved it. So glad Jacob got what was coming to him and Bonner.

Wow wow wow! Got this story as a recommendation on Facebook and I’m so happy to have made my way to it! I love the first chapter and can’t wait to read more!

I have lost track of the number of timed I have read this story. It still lingers, calling me back. The balance between history and fairy tale is absolutely perfect. The development of the characters, the plot, the tone of the story are all perfect. You captured Mary in such a way that she is as understandable as terrifying and as sad as she is repugnant. I absolutely loved learning about this era in history. The shear amount of research that went into this is incredible. This version of Edward's dilemma between the roles his status at birth force him into and his own desire to avoid the political sphere is compelling. I love his relationship with Elizabeth and found her absolutely fascinating. This Bella's enduring compassion and strength to love those around her made her such a beautiful soul. I loved how you developed her relationship with Edward over all they went through. I think one of my favorite scenes is Bella with the fish on her first meal. All the scenes where she processes her culitue shock are just great. I will happily keep rereading this story again and again. Keep writing. The world is better for it.

Delightful story. Imaginative and historical. Reminds me of the works of Sharon Kay Penman. Excellent.
