adventurous challenging emotional informative inspiring slow-paced

Even with confusing subject matter (so many Elizabeths and Edwards and Henrys, my God) Weir keeps the reader amused and informed. I enjoy her writing, both fiction and nonfiction, and through this book I learned a ton. Not my favorite of hers but quite interesting!
informative slow-paced

Brilliant and informative. I would have given it 5 stars but for the narration (really good when reading normally but very cringy when she tried to do voices/accents - especially male voices!). 
informative fast-paced

Eh, it’s really dense
informative medium-paced

Avvincente anche se non proprio una lettura leggerissima. Molto interessante e ben argomentato, cita moltissime fonti storiche anche di pareri discordanti per dare un quadro completo delle cause e degli effetti della guerra delle due rose e della società inglese del 15^ secolo

From the first time I heard about War of the Roses 🥀 I have been obsessed with this fascinating and deadly conflict. This is the story that inspired George R.R Martin to write his ASOIAF.

This book is perfect for those who have a sound understanding of the conflict, time period, historical and political context. I wouldn’t recommend this to someone who is new and wants to learn more.


I absolutely loved every minute reading this and honestly can’t wait till I can read more about this period. Whether your a Lancaster or Yorkist, these two powerhouses changed the shape of England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
informative medium-paced

The ending of this book was extremely abrupt, and she seemed to just keep rehashing the same stuff in each chapter, continuously reminding us of things that happened decades before or would happen in decades to come.
