Is the real reason Anna didnt get the throne beacuse of her grandmother? At the begining of the story a man came to there house and said, "I doesnt matter if the first born is a girl, but if there IS a boy sibling then her sall be the emperor." Even though John did become the Emperor, Anna comtinued learning the ways to be Empress, and her whole family continued acting like she will be. Maybe Annas father knew all along that John will be Emperor and thats why he changed his mind so sunndenly.

I was so happy when I read that when Annas grandmother told John to kill Anna after attempt of murder towards him, he said "No I dont obey you, YOU obey me!" I felt so relived that Annas grandmother finally got a taste of her own medicine. She is such a Horrible, Crul, Cold hearted woman! She is the reason everything turned out the way it did.

All together I did like the book. In the middle I found it a bit boring but I really liked the ending. It was good story, I think Anna should have shown her feelings a bit more though. I would like it if they made the same story but from someone elses point of view, I think that if another book was from Sophias or Marias point of view it would be really intresting because you can see how they are feeling.
