But Anne's machinations will earn her a reputation as a viper, and she must decide if her family's rise is worth the loss of her own soul. Contains mature themes.

The New York Times bestselling author of the Six Tudor Queens series explores the private side of the legendary king Henry VIII and his dramatic and violent reign in this extraordinary historical novel. Young Henry began his rule as a magnificent and chivalrous Renaissance prince who embodied every virtue. He had all the qualities to make a triumph of his rule, yet we remember only the violence. Henry famously broke with the Pope, founding the Church of England and launching a religious revolution that divided his kingdom. He beheaded two of his wives and cast aside two others.

She seeks answers from a member of the most prominent family of magicians, but she quickly learns that finding the truth won't be easy, especially when he turns out to be as artless as her, and more compelling and dangerous than books.

The twelfth and thirteenth centuries were a time of personal monarchy, when the close friendship or petty feuding between kings and queens could determine the course of history. The Capetians of France and the Angevins of England waged war, made peace, and intermarried. In this lively history, Catherine Hanley traces the great clashes, and occasional friendships, of the two dynasties. Along the way, she emphasizes the fascinating and influential women of the houses—including Eleanor of Aquitaine—and shows how personalities and familial bonds shaped the fate of two countries.

To contemporaries, the Wars of the Roses were known collectively as a "cousins' war." The series of dynastic conflicts that tore apart the ruling Plantagenet family in 15th-century England was truly a domestic drama, as fraught and intimate as any family feud before or since. As acclaimed historian Sarah Gristwood reveals in Blood Sisters, while the events of this turbulent time are usually described in terms of the male leads who fought and died seeking the throne, a handful of powerful women would prove just as decisive as their kinfolks' clashing armies.

My heat meter "Warm"
For me, it was a Warm read because neither story or characters were sustainable. Way too many yo-yo moments. There was a point where I thought, "ok, here we go", you know what I mean....you sink back, deep breath, hold on...this story is about to go nuclear! But it fizzled. I really love the Tudor era and can't wait to read other sides to their story, tragic or heroic. The parts I didn't like kinda outweighed the ones I did, so overall for me, a bit of a let down, but not all bad.

Interesting perspective for fans of Tudor fiction
What did you love best about My Lady Viper?
I'm guessing that if you're reading this review, you've already read a lot of Tudor-era historical fiction. What's great about "My Lady Viper" is that the point of view is refreshing and new. If you're like me, you've probably read/listened to a large amount of books that focus on Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn, Elizabeth I, Mary I, Catherine Parr, Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Howard, and Thomas More. If Anne Stanhope was a character in one or more of those books, she was probably portrayed as a scheming and contemptible villain. This book portrays Anne Seymour with more sympathy without taking away the intrigue and scheming that makes her story interesting, and it also goes into more detail regarding Queen Jane Seymour than other novels about the wives of Henry VIII.
Who was your favorite character and why?
Anne Seymour was my favorite because I like complicated and intelligent female protagonists who aren't paragons of virtue and selflessness. Isn't that why we can't get enough of Anne Boleyn?
Which character – as performed by Corrie James – was your favorite?
Anne Seymour.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Two parts surprised me in particular. The first was the author's portrayal of Anne's feelings about the execution of Catherine Howard, and the second was the brief moment where Anne wishes that she and Catherine Parr were able to form a powerful political alliance. I don't know if the real Anne Seymour ever entertained thoughts of a better relationship with her future sister-in-law and rival for formal precedence or not, but it's believable that an intelligent politician like Anne would see the benefits of working with the Queen.
Any additional comments?
If you're brand new to Tudor-era historical fiction, you should probably read/listen to novels or nonfiction about Henry VIII and his more famous contemporaries first. I do not know if I'd fully appreciate the book if I'd read it before reading a great deal about the world of Henry VIII, Anne Boleyn's rise and fall, and the life of Catherine Parr in particular. Some knowledge of Henry VIII's character and desperation for a male heir, Anne Boleyn's demise, and Catherine Parr's unfavorable opinion of Anne Seymour made this book all the more intriguing, and I'm not certain I'd have understood the importance of certain events nor recognized the importance of the characters in "My Lady Viper" had I lacked that familiarity.
I am eagerly awaiting the next book in this series.

So Disapointing
What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?
I really wanted to like this book because the main character is someone you don't see much about. However the overall quality of this book was very low, sadly. The main character as represented by the author is just the kind of person who should not be writing a book in the first person, as her concerns and topics are extremely limited and claustrophobic. There is a lot of repetition and very soft porn that was a big yawn for me.
I confess I did not finish this book as I grew increasingly exasperated and bored as I listened and the character kept bringing up and discussing the same few topics over and over. The narrator was ok, however I found her intonations and the stressors she choose to insert to be a distraction and not necessarily what the author intended.
