Book Review: Roses Have Thorns

I just finished reading Roses Have Thorns: A Novel of Elizabeth I last night and I thoroughly enjoyed it.

As a fan of historical fiction, I found Roses Have Thorns to be a wonderfully written trip through a a fascinating time in British history.

Author Sandra Byrd tells the story of Elin von Snakenborg who leaves Sweden at the age of 17 and eventually becomes one of Elizabeth I’s most trusted “ladies.”

Roses Have Thorns is filled with historical details and intrigue.  Elin, who comes to be known as Helena, is a memorable character that kept me engaged through out the entire book.

I am always drawn to fiction about strong women in history, Roses Have Thorns was a delightful read that I had a hard time putting down. Add this one to your must read list if you’re a historical fiction lover!
