The Red Queen

Geez. I read this book out of order and was pretty confused at the start. It stood on its own okay and was a rather gripping account of the mother of Henry Tudor. She is appallingly unlikable, which I really enjoyed. Seriously, someone should have told this pious shrew that pride is a sin. More's the better when Thomas, Lord Stanley comes into the picture as her incredibly traitorous husband. Good stuff.

I read this book right after the first book in the series “The White Queen”. I really struggled to read this book because it was actually an almost rehashing of the first book, but from a different persons perspective. I found it too boring and repetitive. I finally finished it and will not pick it up again.
