Chapters 4-8

The story is starting to build up and makes a bit more sense. I am glad you(Ms. Hanson) gave us an overview and a better understanding of who the characters were. That makes the reading easier to understand and I can then imagine it. I cannot imagine how miserable and devastated Anne must of felt when she heard the news that she would be waiting on the Queen once again. I, personally, feel that I would not be able to do it. It must have been a crazy feeling to have to present yourself to the soon-to-be ex-wife of the man you are planning to marry. It had to be the most awkward situation.

Reading this rather confusing book

At first, I was a bit confused on what this book was about. It starts out with the author explaining a bit of her life. She seems to be a huge fan of Anne Boleyn and her personality. The Anne character seems a bit spontaneous and not the norm for her century. I am still not convinced that the author went back in time, I also think it is just a dream she is having and will soon awake from it. The author has such a great way to describe the scenes and settings. I can imagine every room and person that she presents in the book.

As I got into chapter 2, I realized more and more that this is a bit scandalous. Anne seems to be a wild and careless woman. I am still not sure of her age. I hope to get more answers to this book as we read more. I will say it is not what I expected. At the end of chapter 3, I thought to myself, am I reading "Fifty Shades of Grey".
