The reign of the Plantagenets winds down and I felt like the book suffered from the author's choice of how to end it, a 100 or so page telling of the Wars of the Roses... Clearly not enough! Perhaps it should have broken off at a different point, been longer or told in a different way. Whatever it was, it, quite simply, wasn't for me. The first 300 pages or so continued in the same tradition as the rest of the series and I have no complaints at all with that. In the end, a thoroughly enjoyable series of English history from 1100-1400.
