The Morbid podcast I listened to earlier about, "The Princes in the Tower," was all I needed as a reminder to dive back into this #historicalfiction series. This book essentially picks up right where I need. The White Queen is the mother of those two missing *cough* [murdered] princes.

My first Philipa Gregory book and it was a fun little ride.

4.5⭐️ I really liked it not only because I find that particular era in English history fascinating, but also because it is very well written. I read the book about 11 years ago and still found the book very refreshing and liked the perspective that Gregory offered. #2021 #historicalfiction #fiction #plantagenets #bookreview #bookstagram #movietieinedition

Queen Elizabeth Woodville, wife of Edward IV, was mother to Edward V who was one of the lost Princes in the Tower. I desperately wish some new piece of evidence would be discovered that would tell us for sure what happened to the Princes and who was at fault. Elizabeth was conniving and manipulative a lot of the time, at least in this particular story, and I found her hard to care for. But I still loved this story and the politics of the time.

I picked this book up after watching the show on Starz. Highly impressed by the historical and fictional parrells. Philippa Gregory did a great job at keeping as accurate as possible, whole still adding fictional components.

If historical fiction is your thing, this book will not disappoint. Elizabeth is catapulted from no one of importance on the wrong side of the fued for the English throne to its Queen. Once there she will stop at nothing to keep it her kingdom. Gossip, magic, intrigue & ruthless, manipulative characters make this a good read

I enjoyed this book, chronologically the second in the series. I liked it a bit more than the first, but still not as much as The Other Boleyn Girl. (It all got a bit ‘fighty‘ in the muddle and I couldn‘t keep track of who was fighting who and for what!

Still, a perfectly reasonable 7.5/10

Itchyfeetreader I got bored with this series in a way I didn‘t with the Tudor books 6y
squirrelbrain I could see that happening Jo @Itchyfeetreader - a good break between each book will help, I think! 6y
Caroline2 Yeah I didn‘t enjoy this quite as much as the other Boleyn girl either. I didn‘t like all the witchy stuff, kinda made my eyes rolls!!! 😆 6y
squirrelbrain I skipped over a lot of the Melusina witchy stuff @caroline2 - a lot of it was in italics so easy to avoid! 🙄 6y

Hi all, I know I‘ve been MIA! Popping back in because I miss talking all things books 📚 Just finished this and I loved it. Historical fiction is usually a win for me, particularly when they feature female characters as I find it fascinating to see how we women have lived in the past and just how far we have come, how different our lives are now. A beautifully written weave of fact & fiction, I was hooked!

I never start a series until I've collected all the books within it (mainly because I am to impatient to wait to move on to the next!). Finished this just now, and while it took a bit longer than normal for me to get through it, it was enjoyable. Looking forward to the next in the series
