Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Goodreads Review: And the Empress Matilda dared to ask the Almighty then – could a woman be King in England? And he did turn to his Angels and said in a voice that only they could hear. “Well, obviously the answer is going to be ‘not yet, dear’, but man is it going to be fun to see her try.”
