Throughout this series, we had been given delicious, tantalizing glimpses of this book's central character, Elizabeth of York. In [b:The White Queen|5971165|The White Queen (The Cousins' War, #1)|Philippa Gregory|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1406950364s/5971165.jpg|13560666], she is shown to be a m...

Bowled over. Possibly one of the best books in The Cousins' War series, and, ironically, it was the only one I initially had very little interest in. It ends everything; it brings everything together; the sisters of the Kingmaker's Daughter; echoes of the mysticism of The Lady of the Rivers; the his...

I must say that I was completely surprised with this novel. I am not a historical fiction novel kind of person, but after watching The White Queen mini series on Starz, I had to read The White Princess and I'm glad I did. This novel was centered around love, hate, betrayl and family. The House of Y...

So I have a bit of a soft spot for Philippa Gregory, and I was really looking forward to this book coming out. I finally got a chance to read it, and everything was going well until the very end. Is there another book in this series? I read it on my kindle, and it ended at 86%. The last 14% of t...

I started out as a big fan of Philippa Gregory's work. I read The Queen's Fool and I was in love. Looking back part of my love affair with that particular book might have been because Gregory doesn't really focus on historical people, she focuses on events and how they might have effected other peop...

The "White Queen" TV show has reignited my obsession with the fifteenth century, so here I am again devouring Philippa Gregory books. Disclaimer: I know next to nothing about British history and history in general, so I can't speak to the historical accuracy of this book.This one is compelling, but ...

As a general rule, I really do enjoy Philippa Gregory's writing. I am a sucker for historical fiction... and especially when the historical fiction centers around Tudor England or the era that preceded the Tudor rule (namely, the Cousins War). However, one problem that I typically encounter with Gr...

Grade: C for story, B for narrationWhat I noticed most while listening - that I might have overlooked while reading - were the number of times Elizabeth said "I don't know" or repeated a keyword from the preceding line of dialogue. If it wasn't for the narrator, I probably would have DNFd this.Full ...

The White Princess is the fifth book in Philippa Gregory’s Cousins’ War series, each book focusing on a different female lead; this book being the POV of Elizabeth, daughter of Edward IV and Elizabeth Woodville (whose story was told in The White Queen), and wife to Henry VII. The book begins after t...

I love this series but this is probably my least favorite book of this series so far. I can usually count on any Philippa Gregory book to be well written and entertaining even if, as so many say, they are only loosely based on actual history. Gregory's books usually highlight all of the secrets, sca...
