for Daughters Of A Rose Without A Thorn1/10 c22
6Boleyn Girl13
Sorry just got back to reading this story! It's just as good as I remembered it.
Elizabeth being so young and having assumed the throne with a husband is making for an interesting dynamic. Her desire to see Edward as her equal is admirable, but as Anne pointed out, it could do a great deal to weaken her position. Being a Queen Regent in this time period is hard enough, better that she have her own power first before shruggging it off to her husband- which is why I think this chapter was interesting. Edward, as a male, is going to get some of the responsibilities conciously or not. I hope Elizabeth can figure out how to handle this.
I love her relationship with all of her sisters. Mary's words to her were touching, as well as her desire to protect her half-sisters, and her relationship with Blanche is perfect, the way that sisters ought to be. I am curious to see what you have planned for them in Ireland- I will certainly be finishing this sooner than later!

Read a bit more of it, loved it! I love the way that you made Elizabeth march into London, like the queen she is, and getting rid of her annoying half-brother. Although I feel like he will be back. I don't quite trust the Dudleys, given their historical reputation. Looking forward to seeing that.
Also loving Anne and Elizabeth's relationship, as well as Elizabeth's care for her half sisters, even though it's politically dangerous. I think that she will do great things as Queen, but she does have to be careful. I also really love the way that she married Edward in the midst of a crisis, for both political and personal fufillment. It was truly touching!

Oh my! The first three chapters of this were very good, I will be reading the rest very shortly, but this is a really interesting premise. Just out of clarification, you've moved back Anne Boleyn's birthdate and moved up Katherine Howard's? Like reversed their birth order? That is an alternative nobody has thought of it, and it's very fascinating! I look forward to reading more, and to meeting Katherine's other daughters.

This was an aazing ride and though sad it is over (excuse me foe gramar errors but on not on hhe laptop right now so) but I am happy that they havsrenwed their fzmilyties and bess reflect on their childhood days and that in fact their mother would have been happy to see everyone happy and in their highest point in their livrs. Fitting name an i think Edwad has every reason to be nervous his child will not liveup,but as Bess points out he has good examples and love howPrincess Katherine has matured. Good ending :)

As always my deepest compliments on your story!

I love Elizabeth scaring Blanche and George before she welcomes him into the family and Edward as always being the voice of family and the negotiator, helping soothe the relation between the sisters, and last but not last I loved Anne's gift to her cousin and stepdaughter of her 'B' neckalce and her new motto and the colors and symbols she chose to interwine with the French royal symbol and how her confidence is already a clear sign she is not just going to make a great Queen but one that is going to captivate Henri as she is a woman who speaks her own mind and is very intelligent, but also reserved and controlled and with a strong will as the Ambassador who stood representing the King, saw.
Great chapter :) update soon.

Fantastic Eleanor! You could end it right here if you so choose! I think Elizabeth does the right thing to Blanche and George!
That Boleyn necklace means bad luck or something or other! But it is not very safe to say that, but I look forward to more stories from you!
My deepest compliments and regards on your story!
