My Lady Jane by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, & Jodi Meadows

-

Lady Jane Grey didn't plan to get married. But she does anyway. Edward knows he's dying so he arranges to marry Jane off to Gifford (but he likes to be called G) so he can have an heir. Jane and G aren't thrilled at first. And Janes is even less thrilled when she finds out that G is an Eðian. G turns into a horse every morning at sunrise. It isn't long before Edward, Jane, and G find themselves in the middle of a conspiracy that will change England forever.

This is by far the best historical fiction series there is. Though it's not historically accurate, this is definitely my favorite version of the Tudors. My Lady Jane is a silly retelling of Lady Jane Grey's brief reign. It was surprising that the authors were able to turn such a tragic moment in history into one of the best comedies I've ever read. Considering the time period, I loved how stubborn and feisty the female characters were.

The characters were so well developed. Each had their own distinct voice. I loved getting to read about them!

Jane and G were such a cute couple and Edward had a romance of his own going on. I don't remember who exactly read the audiobook but it sounded like she was made for it. I 100% recommend this book to everyone. 

This book was hilarious! I was laughing the entire time I was reading this book! Even the dedication was funny.

This story was written incredibly well considering the three POVs were all written by different authors. I also love how this book broke the fourth wall more than once.

I love this entire series! Each book is funnier than the last! I can't wait to read the Lady Janies latest book, My Contrary Mary. I think the covers for this series fit the books perfectly. They fit the mood of the book so well!

Page Count: 250 pages (Hardcover) Published: August 18, 2009 My Rating: 4 stars Series: Villians book 1 Genre: Fantasy   While she may seem like a jealous queen after a young girl's beauty, she is so much more. They may have been logic and heartache behind the Queen's attempts on the sweet girl's life. The Queen struggles with her looks and the trauma from her childhood helps her accept the fact that she must become the fairest of them all.    This is definitely my favorite version of Snow White! From the Queen's early days as a child to her last moments, Serena Valentino took this seemingly innocent fairy tale and turned it into something dark and twisted. This is by far the most heartbreaking story of Snow White ever. At the same time, this book has enough plot twists to keep any reader entertained. You'll never believe who the magic mirror really is!      Even though Snow White has never been my favorite, this is definitely a book I would...
