I would have to say that this is one of my favourite of Emerson's Tudor novels. I felt compelled to know what was going to happen, and was very frustrated along with Anne's situation for most of the novel. I have to ultimately say, though, that I was disappointed with one major plot point occurring, as I feel it spoiled the spirit of the rest of the novel.I was very pleased with this novel! After picking up one of Kate Emerson’s previous books “Between two Queens” on a whim before a flight, I have since been a huge fan of hers. Kate Emerson is a brilliant writer and she brings to life characters during the Tudor reign whom are not as well known. “At the Kings Pleasure” is the story of Anne Stafford (Hastings) a lady in waiting to the queen at the time, Queen Catherine of Aragon. The book focuses on Anne and her relationship with the man she is married to George Hastings and the man she truly loves Will Compton. Off all the books in the series this was my least favourite, I found I couldn’t bound to the character Anne Stafford as I have with the main characters in her previous books. The book was still beautifully written and I enjoyed reading but in comparison to the others in the series I feel they outshine this one.
Yet another fantastic book. I can't wait to read the next in the series, it is addictive!
