I just finish reading Tidelands realizing that I should have read this novel before I read Dark Tides. I enjoyed both very much as I have all your novels. I’m just wondering if one of your novels fits in between these two since in the first Alinor is in her twenties and in the other she is much older. Thanks for your entertaining novels. Bob
Hi Bob – you’re not missing any books. Those are the only two in that series thus far.
The only issue I have is that chronologically, “The Last Tudor” should be listed before “The Queen’s Fool”.
“The Last Tudor” deals basically with Edward’s death and then the short-lived reign of Jane Grey….easing into what becomes the beginning of Queen Mary’s reign. “The Queen’s Fool” picks up (more or less) from there.
