If it wins, I think I'm more likely to read this fictionalized biography of her, than her actual book: Margaret the First.

I also had read Margaret the First, it gives a good sense of Margaret's life and historical period but it can be a little too much with the angsty feeling. As a reader you are a bit much in Margaret's head.

Or, if one Moon Pool voter and one Blazing World voter switches to The Heads of Cerebus, then the Heads of Cerebus would win.
