The White Queen by Philippa Gregory
4.0
This is a little different than a lot of Ms. Gregory's works. Her past series of books have been about the Tudors and their courts. The Tudor books are more about people trying to stay in the monarch's good graces in order to gain more power and wealth. Very little love in these books (e.g. Henry 8th) but lots of court intrigue and scandal.
This new series centers on the Plantagenets. The first part of The White Queen read much more like a love story than the usual PG book...I wasn't sure if I was going to like it or not. After about the first 1/4 of the book the book centered more on the family of Edward IV and their fight to keep the throne. Lots of talk of battles and family alliances.
I liked this book...thought it was exciting. Can't wait for the other books she is writing on this time period.
