Just coming off of reading the events of the Cousin's War from the viewpoint of Margaret Beaufort and seeing how many people disliked her character, I'm a little surprised to find that Anne Neville is not that much better. You get to see more of Richard, which is interesting to compare to the viewpoints the other narrating women have had of him in the Plantagenet novels past), but Anne herself is just as childish and haughty as Margaret, just without the religious aspect, and with even less control. While Margaret is portrayed to at least have had a hand in the events happening around her, Anne always seems to just be tugged along; the decisions are explained to her, the reasonings walked through for her, and she just gets to be afraid of her enemies and sure of her place, despite the fact that whatever her claim is, she doesn't do much to actively work towards it. For an author who usually makes the women in history seem like players in the game that ignores them, it almost seems like Anne Neville is one character who isn't even a player in her own narration.
