I found the book to be slow going in the beginning, but it did pick up about half way through. It was told mostly from the point of view of Richard, Duke of Gloucester and Anne Neville. I think the most disappointing thing about the book was where it ended, I'm sure the author wanted to give us all a happy ending, but when you know there's SO much more to the story it kinda ruins it. I think there is a sequel though that might pick up soon, if not right after this book ends. I'll have to look into it. It's a pretty quick read and worth it if you don't like your bad guys too bad or your good guys too good. ( )
