The Red Queen by Philippa Gregory
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
I enjoyed this book, but I have to admit that I much preferred the previous book in this trilogy, The White Queen. Margaret's attitude towards everything and everyone, especially as she ages, really grated on me. Regardless of whether that attitude is true to history, it still made it difficult to feel much sympathy for someone who is so full of her own "perfection" in the eyes of God. The first several chapters - before the birth of her son - were my favorites within the book.
