I always enjoy Gregory's fictionalized biographies, and this is no exception. Her Cousins' War series is a little different than the Tudors, as they're concurrent and overlap. I wish I'd read them closer together; it's hard to recall the motivations of the previous heroines at this point. If you like to get your history from fiction like me, I recommend it.

The battles for the crown, witchcraft, the desperation of making an heir and the indulgences of the royal court, there's never a dull or easy moment in this one. Gregory create such immense tension in her historic tales told, as always, from the women behind the men.

This was one of my favorites. Fast paced and kept me interested.

I really love Phillipa Gregory's books. She manages to take a well known period of history and make the reader see it in a completely new way. She obviously does a lot of research, and she stays accurate to history, but she gives a new perspective to the events and what might have led up to them.
I'm really enjoying the Cousin's War books, this is my second one, and I'm going to start another right away. I think it's very interesting to read about the same historical moments from very different perspectives. In a way it makes me question some of the assumptions that are always made about history.

Loved it! Easy to digest historical fiction. Accessible to everyone. So interesting to read a different version of the events from the white queen, told from the point of view of a different heroine. I look forward to the next in the cousins war series.

This was less gripping/compelling than the earlier books in this series, at least to me, in this moment. Gregory is definitely good at shifts of perspective - the portrayal of Elizabeth Woodville in her own book (The White Queen?) is very sympathetic, and this is clearly not. It does make it hard to piece together a comprehensive view of the world - there is no way to see "truth" in it, but I guess that's fiction for you.

I enjoyed this book as I enjoy all of Philippa Gregory's books. So this one also takes place at the same time as the last two books, but this one is from Queen Anne's perspective. There is repetition and you will know how it ends because of reading the last two, but being from someone else's perspective you will view things differently. On to the next book.

I liked this! It was a little frustrating because it has been a while since I read the White Queen, so I couldn't remember her version of Elizabeth Woodville's story. Oh, well, that just teaches me I should read books in order. Especially when it comes to history. I'm not good at history. Either way, I felt like there was much more to this book than there was the Red Queen or worse, the Other Queen, where they just spent a bunch of time talking about what other people were doing. Now, on to the Queen's Fool. (okay, so maybe I haven't learned my lesson about reading in order)

This started out interesting enough, but the longer it went on the more I thought all the characters were really just spoiled brats who I couldn't care about.

I found myself a little removed from this book and I’m not really sure why. Maybe it was the massive contrast of reading a book like this while on holiday in Costa Rica, I don’t know. I enjoyed it but it didn’t wow me like some of her other books have.
