The King, The Queen, the Mistress...and the Musician (SPOILERS)

[mistress_tallis]

I repeat--SPOILERS. Of Season 1 of The Tudors and of the new Tudors book, The Tudors: The King, the Queen and the Mistress by Anne Gracie, based on the TV show written by Michael Hirst. All remarks below are my personal opinions based on my own peculiar biases (one in particular which you know very well :).

In an attempt to be fair, let me say

Poor Thomas needs his loves if he's going to be a fully realized character, and those of us who love him don't like to see him shortchanged.

WORD. Oh my god, I don't suppose I would have expected any better from a novelisation, but it sounds like she's just taken a hatchet to poor Tom's storyline.

Are we alone in the world.It seems to me that we are the only people who cares about this couple.
I'm so glad you've reviewed "The King, the Queen and the Mistress", I was tempted to buy it.
And why obviate thier relationship,and mask it as "friendship", we all have eyes you know,and besides,why don't give people (us) what they want, If this book is based on the tv show story line,there's no reason to change the facts.
I can't agree more on the follow up of "It's Good to be King". And for the show, If Thomas can see "death people",M.H. should make William to haunt him.

By the way,I'm from Mexico,and I just discover Joe Lean and the JJJ were in a festival last May, my head still hurts for bumping my head on the wall.

Wasn't Joe lean, was the Pipettes

[mistress_tallis]

Yes, he was drummer for the Pipettes until (I think) June of this year.

As someone with a background in Star Trek, I can tell you novelizations are usually hit-and-miss, at best. Excising canon relationships, though, is a little much (especially if you're putting the guy in the title.)

So glad I read your review, as I won't need to buy the book now.
