The idea that Anne’s final baby lived and was a boy is intoxicating, isn’t it? I do wish we had seen more of Anne’s years with Henry after giving birth to William. Though the next two books get much darker, I am beyond ready for the narration! As for the book, what better thing? Honestly, I LOVE retellings and alternate histories. But honestly this narrator was phenomenal and he did a wonderful job of catching the air of the series.
I always imagined it would be someone reading for Minuette as a narrator. Honestly, I’ve already read the entire series and was excited to see an audiobook of the series, though I’ll admit I was nervous about male narration at first. One among them will pay the price for a king’s desire, as a shocking twist of fate changes England’s fortunes forever. Then, when he and Dominic both fall in love with Minuette, romantic obsession looms over a new generation of Tudors.
With the French threatening battle and the Catholics sowing the seeds of rebellion at home, William trusts only three people: his older sister Elizabeth his best friend and loyal counselor, Dominic and Minuette, a young orphan raised as a royal ward by William’s mother, Anne Boleyn.Īgainst a tide of secrets, betrayal, and murder, William finds himself fighting for the very soul of his kingdom. Just seventeen years old, Henry IX, known as William, is a king bound by the restraints of the regency yet anxious to prove himself. Perfect for fans of Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, and Showtime’s The Tudors, The Boleyn King is the first book in an enthralling trilogy that dares to imagine: What if Anne Boleyn had actually given Henry VIII a son who grew up to be king?
