Finished up the 5th book in the Ice & Fire series only to find out that book 6 is probably 2 years away and book 7, well who knows. So… picked up “The Red Queen” because the description on the back cover made me think of Cersei (Queen of King’s Landing from Ice & Fire). And indeed… Margaret R. is definitely in the same vein of crazy. Or should I say “devout”. I’m finding that I enjoy historical fiction much more than I expected I would. It was any easy read… especially coming off my previous tomes — far few characters to keep track of. Gregory’s writing is smooth and you don’t get lost in the details. The only negative I would mention is the ending. It just kind of stops at the end of Margaret’s immediate story. I suppose, historically, I know that Henry Tudor was King, etc but I just thought the author would give a bit more. I may pick up some of her other books, not sure yet. Anyhoo… for a quick, enjoyable read in the historical fiction genre I recommend “The Red Queen” by Philippa Gregory.
