This was a book that I won on Goodreads. I didn't realize that it is 4th in the series, but I didn't find that to take away from this book. If anything, it made me want to get the other three. If you enjoy history, you'll enjoy this book. Even though the time period was the 1400's, I felt like these were people I could relate to. The main character, Cecylee Neville, the mother of King Richard III, lived quite a life. She proves that there was "a woman behind the throne". This part of the series...more

The last segment of the series is by far the most entertaining. A lot of wit is injected and the story moves along at a much quicker pace than the others. I was in constant anticipation as to what was going to happen next and had a difficult time in putting this one down. The story feels well rounded and you truly get a feeling of who Cecylee was. It also gives a wonderful overview of all the historical happenings at this time such as deaths, births, marriages, battles etc.
