Anne is my favorite character in this series. Her development from a girl to a strong woman is intriguing, she has been through a lot of terrible situations in life, And comes out on top. Her and Richards love for each makes me giddy. Spoiler: I don't like the ending because I don't believe Richard had an affair with Elizabeth of York.

I love the book so much I didn't want it to end!!! Thank goodness it's a series.

Philippa Gregory never disappoints, and this is another example of just that. I find myself wanting to read it again and I just finished it! Such a treat. Thank you Mrs. Gregory!

This is the fourth book in The Cousin's War series by Philippa Gregory, and it is a great read. The story is about Anne Neville and her sister, Isabel, the daughter's of the Earl of Warwick, also known as "the kingmaker". The story begins with Elizabeth Woodville, Edward IV's wife, coming to court after marrying the king in secret. At first everyone is in awe of the queen but soon Warwick changes sides and attempts to put George, Edward's brother, onto the throne by marrying his daughter Isabel to him and waging war against the king. Warwick, however, fails and is defeated and soon directs his attention on a new ally, Margaret of Anjou. A fierce and very powerful woman, she is the wife of Henry VI, the heir of Lancaster who Edward dethroned. This attempt fails and Warwick again is defeated and his daughter, Anne, is brought to live with her sister. Anne soon marries Edward's brother, Richard, for love and the story follows her rise to Queen of England. Overall this story was good. I definitely recommend it to anyone that love Philippa Gregory's novels as well as those that are interested in Richard III and Anne Neville.

I love Gregory and this was a typical book by her. I really enjoyed it and could not put it down. I was so happy to read about this side of the story as the white queen was from Elizabeth Woodville's point of view.

Was very repetitive. Read about 1000 pages (on iPad) then skipped to the last 2 pages.

Same storyline for the entire book so little excitement or conclusion. Kept waiting for the character to step up to the title of the book but she just never got it together.

As I read through this latest book by Ms. Gregory, I was so very disappointed to repeatedly get the feeling of dejavu. I can completely understand the necessity for an author to remind their readers of some important details from previous books. Especially books of the historical type, but almost the entire book could have been included in her prior works. There was very little new material, facts, and especially the all important main characters perspective. I think I will pass on her next book when it arrives as I feel let down for having spent the money on her latest novel.

This book is told from a young girls voice, perhaps that is what some readers find annoying? She is redundant, excitable, and silly at times....but she is a young girl. The author stays true to her voice. I could not put this book down. It's the second in the Cousins War series, and it's fantastic. Dont let the bad reviews scare you. It was a great read. Can't wait for her next one. I also just finished the Second Empress by Michelle Moran which was also great if you like historical fiction.

Captivating.
