3.5/5 stars

I've been visiting the short stories/novella's from Alison Weir's series on the Six Tudor Queens.  This one is book 2.5.

This one is a bit of a surprise, since it leaves the 1500's behind and takes place in the present day.

A historian is leading a group of tourists through the Tower of London, following in Anne Boleyn’s footsteps through her final days. As she shows them around, she separates the facts about Anne’s life and death from the myths that have grown up around her. And since it’s the Tower, there’s an eerie sense that the past isn’t quite finished with the place.

I enjoyed the change of setting. It felt a little like getting a private tour myself.  Another place to visit on my bucket list.

It’s a short read, more of a tour than a full story and another one I would have loved to be longer.  But it’s a fun companion piece for Tudor fans.
