Thank you. I was actually performing it in my head. :D

I love historical fiction, especially when it deals with royalty. Despite the editing issues, I think I would enjoy this book. Thank you for the review.

I avoid reviewing plays because I don't know how, so this is good learning for me.
If i watched a play that ended in a cliffhanger, I would be so mad.
Thanks for stopping by my review.

The story is a touching one, I feel that Matilda is a faithful daughter and followed her parents suggestion even if there is no love involvement at first for the sake of the kingdom.
When everything seems too late, but it's not. God is there! Just keep on believing Jesus.

Thank you. I also took a leap of faith. I was just as mad when the play ended abruptly.

She is faithful, but not by choice. In that era, it is unimaginable for anyone to dare defy the king.

You're welcome. The royals and their drama is entertaining to follow.
