![]() 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. She has absolutely no sense and makes really horrible decisions as well. ![]() More of the main character moaning about the choices she has to make, not liking them, making a choice anyway, then regretting the choice and being miserable. Nancy Bilyeau Gives an Inside Peek Behind THE CHALICE THE CROWN by Nancy Bilyeau About The Author Author Alerts Get updates about Nancy Bilyeau and recommended reads from Simon & Schuster. I had issues with the Crown, but thought I might have been over reacting. I read The Crown (first book in the series) and was interested, so picked up the second book. ![]()
