prittyspeshul 's review for:
The White Queen
by Philippa Gregory
DID NOT FINISH
DNF at page 84
Oh man, did I want to like this book. I really, really did. But I just could not get into it. The time jumps made no sense, even though they were spelled out; there were so many names and titles thrown at you that it was impossible to make sense of who was what or where; and, though this is a personal peeve, I could not stand that it was written in first person. Instead of cultivating a sense of intimacy it just fell flat.
It read like the most boring parts of Game of Thrones, I felt. I had to bargain with myself to get myself to even pick it up to try to forge through it, and it was a relief to put it down.
