“Elias’ use of language to re-create the period is striking … A highly readable telling of a royal fall from grace.” — Kirkus Reviews“[A] well-researched, extremely fluid novel deserving of librarian attention for inclusion in all active historical-fiction collections. Elizabeth emerges from these colorful pages as a woman of great strength … Greatly sensitive to readers’ needs and interests, Elias weaves together greater-picture details of European history and personal notes relevant to Elizabeth Stuart’s desires and setbacks to produce a solid, resonant depiction of a woman who made the best of trying circumstances.” — Booklist“Lively and engrossing … Despite her beauty and sharp mind, Elizabeth is limited by regal obligations and her gender, and her inner conflicts are well-defined … Rich with historical detail and political intrigue, Elizabeth of Bohemia is a complex portrait of a reluctant yet captivating queen.” — Foreword Reviews“This sweeping novel explores the life of a lesser-known historical figure whose descendants would go on to become kings and queens of Britain.” — Book Riot“A wonderfully scripted and entertaining read from cover to cover, Elizabeth of Bohemia is certain to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library Historical Fiction collections.” — Midwest Book Review“Elizabeth of Bohemia is engrossing.” — Literary Review of Canada“Very highly recommended, especially for community and academic library Historical Fiction collections.” — Midwest Book Review
