Review
“Not just for history lovers but anyone hooked on Showtime's The Tudors or, currently, The Borgias...An enjoyable, often witty read, which will make for a nice introduction to the Stuarts and a fun refresher for aficionados.” ―Library Journal
“A well-fashioned history of the remarkable Scottish monarchs... A palatable history lesson that might help untangle the royal lineage web for American readers.” ―Kirkus
“Smart...A delightfully opinionated but nuanced and action-packed history.” ―Publishers Weekly
“It drips with blood, cruelty and tears... Evocative, visceral - haunting.” ―Daily Telegraph (UK)
“Lively and jauntily paced history.” ―Sunday Times (UK)
“Stirring and eloquent account of the Stuarts.” ―Scotland on Sunday
“A highly readable and impressively panoramic history.” ―The Scotsman
“[Massie] combines dry wit and fondness for well-constructed sentences with a novelist's sense of the enlivening detail.” ―Daily Express (UK)
“A pleasure to read and psychologically compelling.” ―The Spectator (UK)
