jobustitch 's review for:
The Red Queen
by Philippa Gregory
I read this book immediately after reading The White Queen and I am stuck comparing the two books and the two women, Elizabeth Woodville and Margaret Beaufort.
I liked this book slightly more than The White Queen simply because Margaret is more fascinating to me than Elizabeth. Margaret is a hard-riding bitch that has combined her hero worship of Joan of Arc with her hatred of the Yorks and has concluded that she is ordained to choose the rightful King of England (who happens to be her only child, Henry Tudor). It was fun to see her nurture each slight and turn it into another sign that she is chosen by God to do something...to be someone special. Elizabeth Woodville seems milky in comparison to Margaret.
I hope the next book in this series comes out soon and is about Elizabeth Woodville's daughter, Elizabeth of York. This book was a good time.
