This is the best fictional book that is “discussing” the Richard III-topic. I´ve read some of books treating this theme- in german, english language because i have to say- the Wars of Roses are my special personal weakness. So based on my read books with ricardian topic i say: this is the best fictional book about it. the characters in this book are described very realistic without trying to make someone better or worse. And the historical facts are too very precise and true. Good done. Because the worst what can be done by writing some fictional books is to make one person (in this case it would be Richard III) saint and its enemy or defeater (in this case Henry VII Tudor)sinner or devil. We all know that nobody is only and just saint or sinner. Awesome book.

Sharon Pneman is one of my favourite, favourite authors, and this is on of my favourite, favourite books! She is awesome!

Yeah, she’s a rockstar. My mom and I actually have multiple copies of several of her books, because we BOTH want them at hand at ALL times. (We live less than 2 hours away from each other.) She’s one of the few authors I re-read, which is saying a lot since most of her books are huge. Glad you found her!

This was my first Penman novel as well and her other works (especially her Welsh Trilogy) are excellent too.

That’s quite a compliment to say such a long book held your attention the entire way! This does sound interesting. Thank you for the great review!

This was definitely one of the best books I read last year. Good review.

And the story of how she lost the original manuscript of the book is legend! (basically, it was stolen out of her car, so she had to go and and rewrite THE WHOLE THING!).

Ooooh, I’ve heard of this one before but for some reason I’ve never picked it up. I’m going to go put it on my wishlist now before I forget. It sounds awesome -pretty big chunk of a book though. lol. Glad you loved it!
