So glad this book was published! I had thought Dark Queen was the last book but I'm so ecstatic to realize that I was wrong. I really admire authors whose characters can learn to change even if they have to take a few steps back they can still go forward and not start from scratch at each book. Jane definitely does this slowly and not always the best at it but she does. Faith Hunter does a fantastic job at continuity and, yes you HAVE to read the previous books because she interweaves important things from previous books into the narrative. And the twist I didn't see that coming. I can't wait for the next book.

Kudos

I wanted a touch more tragedy

Downton Abbey the TV series was incredible, I don't care how uncool people think i am for saying it. Its a spot on piece of British History with strong characters and a great cast.

The film in the same vein although was a little too nice. There was no undercurrent of darkness which stopped this getting full marks. The queen an King are coming to visit Downton along with their horrible staff who are trying to make preparations for the royal visit.

This movie is still wonderful and deserves props for highlighting the backwards thinking of homophobia and although a great film i was hoping for a little more.
