The Cousins' War Collection: White Queen, Red Queen, Lady of the Rivers, Kingmaker's Daughter, The White Princess by Philippa Gregory
2.0
This was OK. The narrative was a bit repetitive in places.
It's nice to get a story told from Elizabeth Woodville's point of view, but I am not really on board with the decision to have Elizabeth (and her mother) actually be practicing witchcraft. It seemed unnecessary to me.
The family tree at the beginning of the book was close to useless since it didn't clearly explain the relationships the reader would need explained.
And as I know 'What Happens Next' there is some awfully heavy foreshadowing that I found annoying.
Somehow I'll probably read more Philippa Gregory, though. The lovely covers of her books always drag me in - against my will.
