Gregory's writing style is pretty smooth and easy to read. Shame what she has to say varies from repetition to outright lies. It leans a bit heavy on the fiction, when it comes to 'historical fiction'. While I do appreciate her goal and…

It’s quite repetitive. And the protagonist seems quite the simpleton. So it’s an annoying read, but still a page-turner.

I love Philippa Gregory's books, especially her Tudor books. As always, full of nonstop plotting, suspense, insight and passion. I found myself loving this protagonist a lot! Henry was also interesting to read, his paranoia and inner…

After reading the other books in this series, I also enjoyed this one. It was a great perspective from a point of view not usually considered. It also gave me a more keen interest in the mother of Henry VII, as well as the boy who claimed…

My favorite book out of the series. Made me hate the red queen even more ( she wasn"t ever really a queen btw just the king's mother. ) Elizabeth of York had such a harrowing life and her husband the king. I found him to be quite a mama's…

I really enjoyed this book. I carried it around for days so that I could read whenever I had a few moments. I do agree with prior comments that the main character seemed weak but I thought it fit the story.

I was disappointed especially having just finished The Kingmaker's Daughter. Elizabeth is portrayed in what seems to be a 21st Century mindset trapped in the 15th Century. The ignorance of her own stature shows Elizabeth to be weak and…

Overall, this was a very readable fictionalized account of life in early Tudor court and of Henry VII’s exhausting attempts to hold onto the crown. I just had a couple of beefs with this book: at times it was poorly edited (typos!) and I…

I so enjoyed Philippa Gregory's interpretation of this period of history. She has a great ability to make historical figures and events come alive for her readers. Her portrayal of Elizabeth of York and the dreadful dilemmas she had to…

Not the best of Philippa Gregory's Cousins' War series. If you have read the White Queen and Red Queen you might find some of the passages repeditive. If you don't know the Tudor history this is an entertaining way to get a little…

Me too! I love her writing, the research she does, and of course, the whole time period! Can't wait to read it, and I promise I'll read it really fast so it can go to the next person eagerly waiting!
