Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Usually, I cannot put down Gregory's books. I really wanted to like this book, but I find myself struggling to finish reading this book with such a sad main character. The author relies too much on her previous character developments in her other books on the White Queen (Queen Elizabeth) and the Red Queen (Margaret of Beaufort), and spends no effort in having you relate to the plot/character of Elizabeth of York and Henry of Landcaster. The whole book is just a rather naggy, tedious description of how miserable Elizabeth of York's life is (really, I get it, Henry VII doesn't trust her, don't need to recount that every single page. Yes, he is also a Mommy's boy, and the mother is a religious freak, I got that 100 pages ago, no need for yet another paragraph). If you are expecting this to be a lovely conclusion to the War of the Roses series from her, you will be disappointed. I think, with this book, I will end my following with the author.
