kne 's review for:
The White Queen
by Philippa Gregory
Lightyears better than The Other Queen, more in the vein of the Tudor series. However, lot of the characters and their relationships are weakly drawn. It's promising to start out with, but quickly fizzles as she transitions from writing an interesting version of what could be history to a drawn out description of who's plotting against who and why.
The story of Elizabeth Woodville, however, is quite fascinating and relatively unknown, and it's worth reading for Gregory's uniquely feminist interpretation of a minor historical figure -- who was really quite major.
