The great conclusion for the series of book of this format. From the beginning I was really excited and have positive feelings about it. Like the rest books of the series it presents history well and at the same time have lots of action. I loved the characters, for some of them I waited for so long to die but to be honest this book changed my attitude towards many of them. Lots of characters lost their position in previous parts and now it was exceptional to get to know new ones. Personally I adored Henry Tudor and I am not even sure why. The one fault I see is the fact that so much history was condensed in only one tome that it wasn't given attention it deserved. In comparison to the first book when almost half of the action was set before Henry VI married Margaret it was superficial. One more book would be perfect.
