I have read a lot about Henry VIII and all the various wives, but not so much about this story. I really liked your comment that Plantagenets became rare after Henry (heehee! Isn't that the truth!) I am thinking about adding this book to my list because I really trust your recommendations, and it would fill a space in my knowledge about that period of time. Great review, I'll definitely be digging a little further!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-62119656096664717462009-11-09T15:34:19.473-06:002009-11-09T15:34:19.473-06:00I've vaguely heard this title before, but neve...I've vaguely heard this title before, but never seen a review.

Every time I read a Richard novel I change my opinion. I'm a flip-flopper on the princes theories. And I definitely concur regarding the Richards and Dukes and Lords and Edwards.. oh my! Gotta have your thinking cap for one of these reads. <br />And to jump in my spaceship and jump ahead to Victorian times.. LOL.. thanks for the heads up on Heyer and the loosely based trilogy. I would have been supremely pissed to not have had the opportunity to read them in order! If I read them out of order I want to do that on purpose =)BurtonReview https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113347274782450564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-20634778863464202282009-11-09T13:08:33.235-06:002009-11-09T13:08:33.235-06:00This sounds like a great read. :)This sounds like a great read. :)Katyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14176612881975170987noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7343567357202223317.post-67969913188992883912009-11-09T12:36:27.296-06:002009-11-09T12:36:27.296-06:00This looks like a great follow up to The Sunne in ...This looks like a great follow up to The Sunne in Splendor.
