It made me place it on my tbr. Now Hugh and Bess will have to go there too! I don't know too much about these historical characters, so it will make for good reading. Thanks Arleigh. Hope this finds you well too! I remember your review of the Traitor’s Wife. It made me place it on my tbr. Now Hugh and Bess will have to go there too!

Marie, a couple of my favorite books set in this period are Margaret Campbell Barnes' Isabel the Fair and Pamela Bennetts' The She-Wolf. Hilda Lewis also has one called The Harlot Queen, which has been recently reissued. I also enjoyed Brenda Honeyman's novels, The King's Minions and The Queen and Mortimer, but they're not as easy to find as the others. Thanks for the review, Arleigh!

I want to read both of these books so bad. I am reading Follies of the King and it is good but I am tired of the spoiled king and his "boys". Great post on the both books!

No one can touch JP on accuracy and they just happen to be enjoyable as well. Marie, I am also lacking about half of the Plantagenet series. I was ordering 1 per week through The Book Depository, but haven't had the extra money lately. Lucy – it’s true. No one can touch JP on accuracy and they just happen to be enjoyable as well.

I just remembered I do have the book by Alison Weir, Queen Isabella (married to Edward II).. has anyone read that one? (I haven't yet).

I heard that's such a good book...it being fictional is what often gives the author some leeway to make it more interesting. Cause honestly, besides Plaidy, it's really rare to find an author who can be totally accurate in terms of history; while being engaging. Thanks:) Arleigh, I can’t wait for that giveaway on the Queen of Shadows! I heard that’s such a good book…it being fictional is what often gives the author some leeway to make it more interesting.
