I did like this book, but it had many problems for me.First and foremost, Anne's passivity. I understand that most historical accounts of her portray her like this, and the events that shaped her life confirm it, but I was expecting more. Great part of my expectations were the result of having read ...
An evocative and intriguing book that I enjoyed much more than the rest of the series, so far. Anne Neville is the kingmakers daughter, and of course her fathers favorite. She has been trailing behind her mother and sister for almost her entire childhood up to her first marriage. She has done nothin...
It could've been much better, but it also could have been so much worse. Onto my ARC of the 5th.Also: there's going to be a sixth book? This series refuses to die/go away.

Guys, if you've been following this blog for a while, you might have heard me mention my anglophilic tendencies. I'm immensely fascinated by all the historical figures of English royalty and the wars and basically just EVERYTHING. I also happen to have a love for Philippa Gregory's writing, because ...
The Kingmaker's Daughter is probably my favorite of the Cousin's War series to date. It is written from the perspective of Anne Neville and gives yet another interesting point of view from this volatile period of history. One of the things I enjoy so much about Philippa Gregory's novels is that she ...
