I'm not sure if I can articulate how much I loved this book. I wasn't really expecting much but a tragic retelling of Kings Philip and Richard but instead I found something so so much better. The HEA, for starters (or maybe enders) was such a fucking relief after all the drama and betrayal, that I was in tears. The LGBT in this book was handled so well, too. Just... fact. The Christian imagery and guilt, the prose, the characters. . . it was SO GOOD. I consider this a gem that I almost let slip by.
