This is one of the books that inspired Alison Weir to become a historian and I can see why. It delves into the mystery of Richard III and whether he was the tyrant usurper he has been framed to be.
It is not for the faint-hearted, I would say if you have a real thirst for history and the research process, then try this book. If not, I would recommend as it can be quite tedious.
I found the concept interesting and there were quite a few places that really grasped my attention. It's a very sympathetic take on Richard and it's made me curious to know how true these findings are in this book.
Overall I know it will be a book that sticks with me and it's made me more aware of fabrications in history and how they're made for political gain. Basically, to begin questioning everything!
