Story
January 28, 1547. It is almost midnight, and the cream of English nobility hold their breath as King Henry VIII prepares to face his God. As the royal physicians wring their hands and Archbishop Cranmer gallops through the frigid night, two dispossessed princesses pray for their father's soul, and a boy, soon to be king, snivels into his velvet sleeve. Time slows, and dread settles around the royal bed, the candles dip, and something stirs in the darkness...something, or someone, has come to tell the king it is time to pay his dues.

Alison Weir was already one of Britain's most popular historians when she wrote her first novel, Innocent Traitor, which hit the Sunday Times bestseller list to a chorus of praise. Now, in her second novel, Alison Weir goes to the heart of Tudor England at its most dangerous and faction-riven in telling the story of Elizabeth I before she became queen. The towering capricious figure of Henry VIII dominates her childhood, but others play powerful roles.

Henry's relationships with the men who surrounded him reveal much about his beliefs, behaviour and character. They show him to be capable of fierce but seldom abiding loyalty, of raising men only to destroy them later. He loved to be attended and entertained by boisterous young men who shared his passion for sport, but at other times he was more diverted by men of intellect, culture and wit.

The lives of Henry VIII's queens make for dramatic stories, and Alison Weir writes a series of novels that offer insights into the real lives of the six wives based on extensive research and new theories. In all the romancing, has anyone regarded the evidence that Anne Boleyn did not love Henry VIII? Or that Prince Arthur, Katherine of Aragon's first husband, who is said to have loved her, in fact cared so little for her that he willed his personal effects to his sister?

Summary
Perfect for anyone fascinated by the royal wedding, Netflix's The Crown, or Wolf Hall, this is a pitch-perfect reimagining of the romance and tragedy of Henry VIII and his six wives, told from multiple points of view by some of your favorite authors.
If you were one of King Henry VIII's six wives, who would you be? Would you be Anne Boleyn, who literally lost her head? Would you be the subject of rumor and scandal like Catherine Howard? Or would you get away and survive like Anna of Cleves?
Meet them and Henry's other queens - each bound for divorce or death - in this epic and thrilling novel that reads like fantasy but really happened. Watch spellbound as each of these women attempts to survive their unpredictable king as he grows more and more obsessed with producing a male heir. And discover how the power-hungry court fanned the flames of Henry's passions...and his most horrible impulses.
Whether you're a huge fan of all things Tudor or new to this jaw-dropping saga, you won't be able to get the unique voices of Henry and his wives - all brought to life by seven award-winning and best-selling authors - out of your head. This is an intimate look at the royals during one of the most treacherous times in history. Who will you root for, and who will you love to hate?

Frustrating listen
I tried to persevere with listening to this book but found myself despairing. Disappointed. If you are well read regarding the tudors I do not recommend. Not very well written. For me the authors style of writing in the first person just doesn’t work. Great idea but unfortunately not executed very well ( pardon the pun)

Fatal Throne: The Wives of Henry VIII Tell All
As a lover of history, I thought I knew most things about this famous group.
Delightedly this book proved me wrong.There has been details I missed and links not made until strung together side by side.
Listened to the whole thing in a day.
Loved the different take on viewpoints of each wife's life with an input of Henry's own at the end.
Worth a listen and your credit.

Adequate
Riddled with mispronunciations of titles and place names. Best and most interesting as well as literarily creative was the story of Anne of Cleaves. The imagery in that sequence was brilliantly constructed. Sadly, the mispronunciations of names & nations was the worst in it. Accents were very fake.

Fresh Presentation!
This was so uniquely presented and I loved it. Each wife told her story in first person. Henry gave his viewpoint on the rise and fall of each queen as well. Of course it could only hit the highlights (or lowlights, if you will), but even in a short story format, it managed to give a complete overview of their story.
I’ve read many many many books on the Tudors, and this one is presented differently from all the rest. Definitely worth a credit and a few hours of your time.

Superb
I bought Fatal Throne on a Wednesday and had finished it by Saturday. Utterly compelling, Fatal Throne was nearly impossible to stop listening to. The speed at which you understand and sympathize with each of Henry VIII’s six wives is really quite impressive. After centuries of plays, tv series, films, and books it can be difficult to see Henry and his queens in a new light. Stubborn but pious Katherine of Aragon, clever and shrewd Anne Boleyn, kind and submissive Jane Seymour, fierce and independent Anne Of Cleves, vivacious and full of life Katherine Howard, wise and intelligent Catherine Parr all have their say here. I never expected to understand or root for Anne Boleyn. I never dreamed I could find a fair rationalization for the “crimes” of Cat Howard. Yet, in Fatal Throne each queen eloquently finds her voice and offers her opinions and views. It’s truly fascinating to me to see how each of the six either buckle under or rise above the political, religious, social, and sexual mores of the time. There’s triumph and tragedy as well as beauty and horror in each story and I simply couldn’t put it down. There’s strong feminist themes which I respected and appreciated but it’s also massively entertaining and rather illuminating. If you love history or historical women you’ll love Fatal Throne. While I think people familiar with Tudor history will get more out of it, I don’t think that it’s necessarily a prerequisite. I think anyone who loves history, appreciates a story with a strong female voice, or has a desire to see old stories in new ways will find something to love in Fatal Throne. Please give it a listen!

Well Worth the Read!!
If you are like me and think you have read every Tudor book there has been and can't imagine there be something new, this is your book. This is not only a fresh new look but a joy to listen to. What a creative way to tell these women's stories. I would love for these authors to go even deeper into the women they wrote about. Thank you so much.

Shallow
The book is overly dramatic and shallow. It doesn't have any information that one could not have gleaned from a PBS special. Plus, so much time is spent on Catherine of Aragon that the coverage of the other wives resembles a high speed car chase.

good read for Tudor fans.. narrators are good and stories are all told in a provocative way. I did not like Anne of of Cleve's in this book as much. the cadence of the narrators voice made it hard to listen to for long periods of time.. not that it was bad it just made her story seem drawn out because i would space out lol. Very entertaining read otherwise
