I adored the relationships between characters, and particularly the interactions and romance between Jane and her love interest. Also, I want to note that I audiobooked part of this book (which was narrated by Katherine Kellgren, rest in peace), and that I absolutely adored the way that it was performed! I loved the story in general, and also the amount of humour that came through from the authors’ writing! I laughed out loud multiple times, got upset over the things that went wrong, and probably cried once or twice because of sweet or sad things that took place. Going into the book, I didn’t know anything about Lady Jane Grey, so I don’t know which aspects of the story are accurate and which were not. Well, with the next book by Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows, My Plain Jane, coming out this month, I thought that it was finally time to write a full review for My Lady Jane! But, back to the book! I absolutely loved it, but just became swamped with reviews that I had to write for ARCs, and it kind of got pushed to the back burner until now. Just beware of spoilers if you haven’t read the book yet, also you can find links to the discussions for other chapters at the bottom of that post as well. I actually also hosted a readalong for this book at the same time, and you can check the posts out here if you want to see our discussions about it and such. I read most My Lady Jane last summer while at a friend’s cottage (as you can see in the images below). But those trifling problems aren’t for Jane to worry about. In My Lady Jane, coauthors Cynthia Hand, Brodi Ashton, and Jodi Meadows have created a one-of-a-kind YA fantasy in the tradition of The Princess Bride, featuring a reluctant king, an even more reluctant queen, a noble steed, and only a passing resemblance to actual history-because sometimes history needs a little help.Īt sixteen, Lady Jane Grey is about to be married off to a stranger and caught up in a conspiracy to rob her cousin, King Edward, of his throne.

This comical, fantastical, romantical, New York Times bestselling, (not) entirely true story of Lady Jane Grey is “an uproarious historical fantasy that’s not to be missed” ( Publishers Weekly, starred review).
