Changeling
by Philippa Gregory
For being the first in a series, it does a good job at introducing the characters and their relationships with one another and their role in the future story line. It is very well written (of course) and keeps your attention. There is a lot of suspense and mystery. The flip-side is that I feel that it does not do enough with the well introduced characters for this to feel complete. While I know it is the first in a series, I find that most individual books in long series are still capable of almost standing on their own--this one just left me feeling a little short-changed. The title, Changeling, relates to one of the characters in some way but is never fully planned out. I think it definitely could have been better named and that so much more could have been done in this first novel.
I would recommend it, but I would recommend waiting until there are at least two in the series to begin it.
