The History of this book does make you think; Elizabeth I a male. However the storyline and how things played itself out was in my opinion, somewhat weak. I would have thought the book would have been more like other works where the different clues and evidence would help further the study of History. Yet in this case, it wasn't so. More about protecting the nation and politics.

Nevertheless the ending (as in the author's note) was indeed interesting. So much in History that is not written, or left confused. I wonder if the truth will ever be revealed.

A good read nevertheless.
