I enjoyed this but not as much as the first two novels. I found that the characters (especially Anne Boleyn) were not as fleshed out and felt that this book could have been longer. I enjoyed the back and fourth between before and after Anne's death. However I felt the story was a little empty. The ending was nice, but again didn't really add much. We get a vague idea of how HMRC is set up but not really enough.
