jsh626 's review for:

The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory
3.0

Poor Philippa Gregory. Nothing will ever quite live up to the Other Bolyen Girl, but she is going to cling to this genre like grim death.

This is the 2nd book in the "cousins war" series and features the Tudor matriarch, and it took me a while to realize that is was parallel to The White Queen (the 1st book) which focused on the rival York matriarch. If someone was interested in reading one or both of these books, I would recommend reading them back to back to get the differing view points of the same events. I think I would have enjoyed this book more that way.
