![]() I loved the Matthew Shardlake books from this same time period and really learned a ton about the Reformation and King Henry VIII. A native of the Midwest, she lives in New York City with her husband and two children. She is currently the executive editor of Du Jour magazine. I really enjoy learning accurate history while I read/listen (at least piquing me to look up information if I don't know anything about it) and this book really did not do that. Nancy Bilyeau, author of The Crown and The Chalice, is a writer and magazine editor who has worked on the staffs of InStyle, Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and Good Housekeeping. The Chalice really drops the ball with the historical fiction part. I thought The Crown had more interesting history as well. I'll make her do somthing really stupid and we'll see what happens.' Not a practical bone in this lead character's body. ![]() It is as if the author thought, 'hm, not sure what to do next.

Review: During the Great Stephen King Binge of Eighth Grade, I hit a lot of classic King stories that have endured the test of time.
