With the crowns of Hungary and Bohemia added to their Austrian titles, the Habsburgs faced the challenge of the Protestant Reformation and the pressure of the Ottoman Turks, but the dynasty’s good fortune in its marriages ran out for the Spanish branch in 1700, and the world-wide footprint of the Habsburgs shrank back to European dimensions. He follows the Habsburgs as they moved the centre of their power into Central Europe, raised their prestige by gaining the title of Holy Roman Emperor, and expanded their reach globally with the addition of Spain and its possessions in the New World and the Pacific. Beginning with the dynasty’s obscure origins in the extreme southwestern corner of the German lands, he traces its ups and downs through the centuries. Facing the daunting challenge of chronicling the fortunes of a dynasty whose rule once spanned the globe, Martyn Rady has responded with a balanced, incisive and eminently readable account of the Habsburg family and its significance.

In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content: How has the publication experience been for you? My other books include my debut Sea Witch, its sequel Sea Witch Rising, and a stand-alone sports rom-com called Throw Like a Girl. My latest young adult fantasy, The Queen Will Betray You, is the sequel to last summer’s The Princess Will Save You, which was a gender-swapped take on the damsel-in-distress trope inspired by The Princess Bride.

I’m so excited to share my interview with Sarah Henning today! INTERVIEW Welcome Sarah! Thank you for allowing me to interview you! Can you start off by introducing yourself? The Princess Will Save You was one of my favorite books of 2020 and I knew immediately that The Queen Will Betray You was going to be on my most anticipated list for this year. The main character appears to have dreadlocks. It is difficult to tell if a character is reoccurring without flipping back and forth repeatedly. Some pictures have incredibly detailed backgrounds while others are mostly unused space. Not weird in a whimsical, fun way, or a challenging modern style. Unfortunately the pictures were even more of a disappointment. The pace was uneven and relied heavily on the pictures to form a cohesive story. It felt like some of Seuss’ affirming early readers, but with a larger vocabulary and a huge disconnect between the words and the pictures. This book reads like a Seuss imitation, with additional words at the end as padding. The text is rhyming, but the rhymes are at times spread over multiple pages. The girl states in first person narration that she likes herself in a variety of ways and circumstances.Įach page spread has at least one sentence and some as many as three.
