susannavs 's review for:

The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory
3.0

I preferred the previous book in this series (I'm reading chronologically, not by publication date). Margaret was a very hard character to like, and she was somewhat less involved in the Cousins' War than the other women - she was never queen, and only became a major part of court (okay, yes, she was lady-in-waiting to several other queens) once the war was over and her son was married to Elizabeth of York.

Still, you can't help but feel sorry for the poor 12-year-old girl married to a man twice her age, who gives birth to her only child at 13, with her husband dead on a battle field two months before.
