wraithlair 's review for:
The White Queen
by Philippa Gregory
I loved the writing. It was long and flowing but it was also filled with suspense. Everything about this book was filled with suspense. The plot, the characters, the rival families of York and Lancaster.
Atfirst, I thought it would be another Game of Thrones but it really isn't. The White Queen is its own special story full of battle and intrigue and just the right amount of magic to make you hold your breath in anticipation but not roll your eyes everytime things work out in favor of the good guys.
Which it doesn't. Elizabeth's family suffers losses and sometimes I really felt like I was drowning in her misery when they were on the losing side but the war is a continuous tide and new players rise and old enemies fall and people betray and regret and betray again. It really is just amazing and I can't wait to get my hands on the second book, The Red Queen.
