The Vow on the Heron by Jean Plaidy (Plantagenet Saga #9)Finished: 03 June 2015
Rating: ****
Review:
In The Vow on the Heron, queen of historical fiction Jean Plaidy has delivered another thoroughly enjoyable novel in her Plantagenet series, this one detailing the long and eventful reign of Edward III. Focussing equally on family matters such as the king's strong and abiding love for his Queen Philippa, the lives and loves of their children, and finally towards the end of his life his infatuation with his notorious mistress Alice Perrers, as well as on political and administrative issues like the events leadng up to the beginning of the Hundred Years' War with France, this was a well-rounded story and one of my favourite books in the series so far.
Tonight could be our last roll! :(If Team 1 and/or Team 3 roll a 6 tonight, they could finish with this roll, but if they don't, we'll still have a chance to win. So fingers crossed for small rolls for them and a big roll for us!
And as always, great job, team!

So, as you've probably seen, both teams rolled a 6. This means that the odds are the game will be done with this roll. It's been great playing with you guys!

Review: I liked the book but I found it predictable at the end and slow moving in spots...
Chloe's older sister, Ruby, is the girl everyone looks to and longs for, who can't be captured or caged. When a night with Ruby's friends goes horribly wrong and Chloe discovers the dead body of her classmate London Hayes left floating in the reservoir, Chloe is sent away from town and away from Ruby.
But Ruby will do anything to get her sister back, and when Chloe returns to town two years later, deadly surprises await. As Chloe flirts with the truth that Ruby has hidden deeply away, the fragile line between life and death is redrawn by the complex bonds of sisterhood.
With palpable drama and delicious craft, Nova Ren Suma bursts onto the YA scene with the story that everyone will be talking about.
