The Kingmaker's Daughter (COUSINS' WAR) Paperback – 23 May 2013

Used book sent in really good condition and that too in time. Thank you.

I like the fact that it takes you right away from the difficult times in which we find ourselves right now. I rarely get time to read during the day and so I look forward to bedtime when I can leave all the difficult problems and worries behind and lose myself in a far distant time.

Magnífica historia. Es conveniente leerse la pentalogía completa para conocer la historia desde varios puntos de vista. Y si te quedas con ganas de más, recomiendo "The Princes in the Tower" de Alison Weir.

I have not been reading this series in order, so after I read the White Princess, which was an okay book, I was hesitant to read back. But this was amazing. I was able to sympathize with the character and yet still see the flaws without becoming completely frustrated or wanting to shake them. This has lately started happening with a few of Gregory's characters. The people seem like real people with insecurities and emotions rather than just caricatures filling hundreds of pages. Really satisfied with this purchase. 👍👍

Knowing different perspectives is a key factor to understand this period of time. The cousins' war is a history passage that deserves to be known from the different actors that perform such turbulent episodes.

Je n'ai pas tout à fait fini de lire ce livre (j'en suis aux deux tiers) mais je suis enchantée de l'avoir commandé.Avec Anne Neville (qui épousa le futur Richard III), Gregory met cette fois le projecteur sur la fratrie et notamment sur George, le cadet. Ce recueil contraste fortement avec "The White Queen", qui donnait la parole à Elizabeth Woodville, l'épouse d'Edward IV (donc la belle-soeur d'Anne Neville, j'espère que je suis à peu près claire !).Très intéressant car la jeune et jolie reine sympathique de "The White Queen" est cette fois vue par George (le frère d'Edward et de Richard) comme une dangereuse arriviste, empoisonneuse à l'occasion. Je trouve ce changement de perspective fascinant.Bref, je recommande sans hésiter cette lecture !
