The Lady of Misrule

Book Rating

The Lady of Misrule is a fictional account of Lady Jane Grey's incarceration in the Tower of London from the perspective of her companion, Elizabeth.

Suzannah Dunn emphasises Jane's innocence and the ludicrous reasons for her imprisonment. At a time when changes in religion were causing death and unrest, it was a crime merely to think a different way to the monarch, let alone be a "pretender" queen.

Despite the narrative, there was nothing the author could do to avoid its foregone conclusion. What is shocking, however, is the unexpected suddenness of the event, Jane's pious strength and the devastating shock felt by Elizabeth.

Finally - Butcher's backstory

For a number of issues now, we have known Butcher is a violent, yet calculated man with a real hatred of superheroes. But nobody quite knows the details of his life. Until now. This story sees Butcher standing over his dead father before his funeral, outlining his life and why he hates him.
A great background to this mysterious Negan-like character, we finally see quite what Homelander did to his wife, how he became so twisted and violent and get a glimpse of what he has planned.
Some cliché'd London upbringing scenes but good to put meat on the character's bones.

Johnny The Ripper

From Hell- its mysterious, thrilling, horrorfying, terrorfying and above all a good movie, thats about Jack The Ripper. And plus Johhny Depp is in it and his is a inspector so thats a plus.

The plot: Inspector Fred Abberline is determined to track down Jack the Ripper in Victorian east London. As well as his Sergeant Peter Godley, Abberline is helped on the case by visions he has while high on opium, and adding urgency to his investigations is `unfortunate' Mary Kelly, a potential Ripper victim with whom the Inspector is falling in love.

Its a really good movie, highly reccordmend watching it.
