lestrangelotus 's review for:

The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
4.25
emotional sad tense slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Loved this one. Loved Philippa's take on Elizabeth Woodville and her story, how she made these historical characters into very human ones, with their own ambitions and desires. Loved her writing too. I was really into this book ngl, the beginning was a little bit slow going maybe but then it picked up and I couldn't put this book down. Can't wait for Margaret Beaufort's book.
