The Red Queentells the story of the child-bride of Edmund Tudor, who, although widowed in her early teens, uses her determination of character and wily plotting to infiltrate the house of York under the guise of loyal friend and servant, undermine the support for Richard III and ultimately ensure that her only son, Henry Tudor, triumphs as King of England. Through collaboration with the dowager Queen Elizabeth Woodville, Margaret agrees a betrothal between Henry and Elizabeth's daughter, thereby uniting the families and resolving the Cousins War once and for all by founding of the Tudor dynasty.
My Review
I have to be honest. I really struggled with this book. Don't get me wrong the writing and the plot were brilliant, but I just could not connect with Margaret. She read as if she were a caricature than an actual person. It drove me nearly insane reading about the same things over and over again, and I am sure it is in no way an accurate portrayal of her.
I will probably read the other books in the series, but this book is not one I would recommend.
