My Lady Jane

This book starts out as “What if Tudor England but with Animorphs” and then goes on to have a progressively sassier, more fourth-wall-breaking, more Lemony Snicket narrator with more and more Monty Python and the Holy Grail (and Princess Bride, I think?) quotes and references. I enjoyed the first half of this book, but then the writing style changes to having the aforementioned narrator progressively dropping all pretense of seriousness and it's extremely jarring. I would have enjoyed the latter half of the book much more if the narration style hadn't gradually turned into one joke after another.

I did catch the reference to All About That Bass, and I liked that there was a well-developed peasant character whose purpose was not comic relief.
