(The Elizabethan Series, Book 3)
By Tony Riches
Tudor adventurer, courtier, explorer and poet, Sir Walter Raleigh has been called the last true Elizabethan.
He didn’t dance or joust, didn’t come from a noble family, or marry into one. So how did an impoverished law student become a favourite of the queen, and Captain of the Guard?
The story which began with the Tudor trilogy follows Walter Raleigh from his first days at the Elizabethan Court to the end of the Tudor dynasty.
REVIEW
FIVE STARS
I love everything Tudor, but most books out there are based on the main players —the kings and queens of the era. I have never seen writing solely from the perspective of Sir Walter Raleigh before, so I was really looking forward to reading this book.
Tony Riches has a wonderful way with words, and I thoroughly enjoyed her previous series, The Tudor Trilogy, so I knew this book would be good, and boy, was it! The history of the era seems to leap off the page; such attention to detail brought the era to life. I also adored the depiction of Raleigh, and I found myself thoroughly invested in his story. I certainly learnt a lot about Raleigh's life from reading this book, and I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. This is a book that deserves to be read in one sitting and that was exactly what I did - a day reading is never a day wasted!
If you love the Tudors like I do, then this book is a must-read.
