jessthebookworm 's review for:
The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
I write this review as an avid Philippa Gregory fan, and a person just slightly obsessed with the Tudors. I have read every book in this series now, and while there were some I did not enjoy, such as the Other Queen and the Kingmaker's Daughter, I found this one highly enjoyable.
This book follows the point of view of Margaret Pole, a Plantagenet Princess, married to a nobody to reduce her claim to the new Tudor throne. I enjoyed seeing King Henry VIII from this relative outsider perspective. We obviously all know King Henry's story, but it was interesting to read the story from a viewpoint which showed the effect on the country itself, and the more common people, than just him and his wives.
Margaret's tragic story is very well-portrayed, and I recommend this book to lovers of this series.
