The White Queen by Philippa Gregory

4.0

I love that this book is based on Elizabeth Woodville, real life queen of England during the 1400s. She is a fascinating queen that was thoroughly disliked and if history has taught us anything, that means she was beautiful smart and competent.
It was long and skimmed over quite a lot of history. I had to take breaks because of all the plotting and scheming and backstabbing. It was overwhelming and yet central to the story.
I liked it enough but I have no desire to continue the series. This one book was enough and it was fun learning about her again and imagining her thoughts when she was alive.
