I liked this better than books 2 and 3 of this series. Really enjoyed the character Ann. Also thought this story helped shed light on many of the events of the series so far. If you can't commit to the series, at least read books 1 and 4. They are excellent!

I find I did not like the main character very much, I guess because of all her accusations agaianst Elizabeth who I loved. But the woman was a little too accusing and she wasnt brave enough to voice them anyway
I feel Elizabeth had better things to do that to worry about her, maybe thats just me

But its interesting to see the Queen from anither perspective, especially someone that hates her

Its a very good read though, i am looking forward to the next one

The whole book reads like a long summary

I loved this book in the beginning and through the middle but was very disappointed with the ending. It was so similar to 'The other Boleyn Girl'.

I found this book possibly the best so far. This may be due to the fact, that having read 2 others in the cousin war series, it is all making much more sense now.
I am just loving the series, and am finding myself googling characters to discover more of their story.

As I expected although definitely after reading so many of PG's books, somewhat predictable style and movement of plot. But understandable that its historical in nature and not entirely fictional in that way. Will continue to read her novels that's for sure!

I just love these books. It's cruel and tragic and uplifting and tender and everything in between. I hate that I can't keep track of all the details of all the books in this series, but regardless, it is beautiful and devastating and some of it is real history.

La Gregory è una splendida cantastorie. Ho letto praticamente tutta la serie della Guerra dei Cugini, meglio nota come Guerra delle Due Rose e l'aspetto che ho maggiormente apprezzato è che sia stata data voce a figure femminili che generalmente non ne hanno. Certo, la Gregory ha romanzato, ha usato le fonti con licenza poetica, se così vogliamo definirla, ma ci ha fatto conoscere le donne che hanno partecipato a questa guerra che ha insanguinato l'Inghilterra per 30 anni circa. Lettura godibilissima. La consiglio vivamente.

Poor Anne Neville, she was a pawn in her Father's game, her mother, her sister and brother-in-law, and ever her husband Richard who went on to become king. I am still enjoying this fictionalized version of history. Although Anne at times was cunning, she was really only looking to please people. She was caught up in a game with no way to truly win.

Well written and all. The numerous deaths and unfortunate happenings near the end were a little off-putting and got kind of predictable.
