2013 Reading Challenge: Book 20 - The Lady of the Rivers

The Lady of the Rivers by Philippa Gregory
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

As a fan of Philippa Gregory, when I saw this at the library, I didn't hesitate to loan it out. However, I found this much slower reading than I normally do with these books.

I did enjoy reading about the story of Jacquetta and Margaret of Anjou and to read what happened before The White Queen. It is an enjoyable read, but I did find that it didn't have the same pull that the others in the Cousins War series had.

2013 Reading Challenge: Book 18 - The Kingmaker's Daughter

The Kingmaker's Daughter by Philippa Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I really enjoyed this book. Having already read The White Queen and The Red Queen and watching the recent BBC series, I was looking forward to reading the story from Anne Neville's point of view.

I did find this book a little slower going than the other two books, but just like with the other two books, I found myself warming to Anne Neville's character and sympathising with her.

Another great read from Philippa Gregory and I am looking forward to reading The White Princess in the near future.
