Started off boring but was glad I kept reading. It had me entranced.

Loved this book

The best of all her books, in my humble opinion. It lays the groundwork for all the rest. Still my favorite.

Jacquetta's story is much more interesting than I anticipated.... The Lady Rivers is a character usually untouched by history, especially in a time that is so overshadowed by men and tyrants. Jacquetta is best known as the mother of Elizabeth Woodville, Queen of England and wife to Edward, the first York King. Gregory's books are always fictional, but filled with a slew of facts and even the foresight and alchemy fit well - much better, I think, than Hannah's in The Queen's Fool of her Tudor line. Having read The White Queen and The Red Queen, Jacquetta's story being a step away from the throne is a relief. In many ways, she reads like The Other Boleyn Girl's Mary, who I also enjoyed. Jacquetta's personality and attitude is a breath of fresh air from all the power-hungry women that Gregory typically portrays. Overall, this is a well-written tale about the rise and fall of power during the Cousin's War, with glimpses to the effects of battle on the kingdom and countyfolk alike. Gregory, as always, plays particular attention to the roles of women in this era. Gregory never disappoints. After The Constant Princess, this is my favorite of her works.

Woah! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed this book and now want to read more of Philipia's work. I haven't read for myself in some time, don't have much time on my hands as it is but finished in a week because of how much this book kept my interest. The design of her writing flows very nicely and because there aren't chapters per se the book goes much faster. Onto the Red Queen!

I first read Gergory’s The White Queen and completely fell in love with Elizabeth Woodville and her life, I wish I would have read this one first because Jacquetta has became one of my most beloved characters of all time. Her story has got me completely wanting to know as much about the mediaeval times as possible. I grew to hate Queen Margaret but, Jacquetta and Richard’s love story kept me wanting more. I cannot wait to read The White Princess, I have such high hopes after this book and The White Queen.

It took me a while to first get into, but once I started I couldn't put it down and read it straight for two days until I finished it. Now I'm desperately searching for the rest of her books.

Excellent

I cab not wait for her novels to come out. Even though it is historical fiction I feel I learn so much. As always this was a good read and I turkey enjoyed it.

As usual Gregory delivers an awesome story. Jacquettas character and her amazing story is engaging all the way through.
