Anna of Byzantium 2

I have finished Anna of Byzantium. It took me longer than it should have, because the book wasn't really my taste. I did like Anna, she was a scholar and historian, and also was quite proficient in medicine, even though she did try to kill her brother. Anna's bitterness at her grandmother and brother can be understood though. Anna was originally heir to the emperor's throne, her grandmother and her younger brother conspired and took that away from her. She lost her birthright. In the end she was okay, I won't say much more in case I have anybody actually reading this blog who will also read this book. Overall, it wasn't a classic, I did enjoy some parts of the book, and am glad I read it because of the insight into royal life in the Byzantine Empire.
