A review by mollyo
The Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory

3.0

I'm reading Gregory's books in the order they're newly displayed on her website - by historical start date, not publication date. I really like "Lady of the Rivers" and was disappointed with both "The White Queen" and "The Red Queen." Gregory says Elizabeth Woodville is her favorite character and you can clearly tell that in "The White Queen," which paints her so sympathetically even though I found her unlikable, and in the "The Red Queen," which felt, as a reader, that it was painful for Gregory to write.

"The Kingmaker's Daughter" is treading familiar ground - The Cousins' War, again - but from the point of view of a minor character in the other three books. This is an easy read and a good one if you like Gregory or this sort of historical fiction.
