[quote=""Misfit""]A thumbs up from Harriet ;) [/quote]

*scratches head* ummm Who is Harriet? :confused: and does she actually read the books she reviews?

I wont say anything more about Lady of the Rivers....But I thought when Gregory started this cousins war trilogy that it would focus on Elizabeth Woodville(The White Queen), Margaret Beaufort(The Red Queen) and Elizabeth of York? Why did she forget Elizabeth York and write about Jaquetta?

Lol! Anyone who solves the Harriet mystery will be forever beloved by Amazon junkies everywhere.

Personally, the book was a dog, even for PG who is uneven on her better days.

As far as I know, she's just postponed Elizabeth of York. I imagine it'll be the one after The Kingmaker's Daughters.

OK. Thanks for that BB....but I think I will be buying Kingmakers Daughters from a second hand book dealer :p and also read the reviews of it first.

I heard she wanted to write about Eleanor of Aquitaine (or is that just a rumour)
