Can't wait for Margaret Beaufort's POV ngl, next book's gonna be juicy af I just know it

This is getting so tense aaaa so nerve wrecking, I can't stop reading!

God, this argument between Elizabeth and her daughter is making me cryyyyyy

SOMEONE SEDATE ME

"So weaken, lose your strength. Let your right arm fail, let your sword arm grow weak, let your hand lose its grip. Take one breath and feel it catch in your chest. Take another and feel choked. Sicken and weary. And burn up like this." The cord flares in the fireplace and I watch it burn away." The visuals of this curse are something else. Just knowing Richard will die in the battlefield, tired, alone and betrayed.

The thing about loving history and always wanting to know more about it and study it all the time is knowing where this is going, how it's going to end and feeling wretched 😭 Philippa brings this historical characters to life, makes them human so easily that I'm heart broken and suffering by anticipation already. Gosh.

This is getting so heart wrenching. 😭 But still I can't help but love Philippa Gregory's writing. I'm really enjoying her books.

Oh... The sexual tension is scorching just like the Palm Springs sun they're in lmao

I'M LAUGHING SO MUCH

"THERE WAS ONLY ONE BED" I shout to the walls of my room at 4:43 am

Damn, now I'm the one falling in love with Alex. Ffs I knew it would happen bc he reminds me so much of someone who used to be so important to me and isn't anymore and it's bringing so many unwanted memories but argh Alex is such a good person (...so far). I love how he is with Poppy and how he sees her and loves her. To truly be seen and to be loved still... *sighs*

Their reunion after two years is just so 🥹

I feel like Alex is very autistic coded

"I won’t pry it out of you,” she says. “Maybe it’s private, what makes you happy.”
“It’s Alex,” I blurt out.

AAAAAAAA

"The problem is, I don’t have to think back. Not at all. I know right away when I was last truly happy. Two years ago, in Croatia, with Alex Nilsen. But there’s no finding my way back to that because we haven't spoken since." IM SO CURIOUS WTF HAPPENED

Me trying to understand these battle scenes 😵‍💫

"Then you are the man I married. For the man I married was a brave young man, and you are a brave man still. The man I married had not known fear, nor had he a son, nor did he know love. But all these things have come to us and we are changed by them, but not spoiled by them.He looks at me gravely."You mean this?" "I do," I say. "And I too have been very afraid;but I am not afraid with you here again." I love them

"(...) and I think as I drift into sleep after the birth, all warm with him in my arms, that perhaps this baby will not be king. (...) It is like having an ordinary baby, not a prince. Perhaps he will be an ordinary boy and I will become an ordinary woman again. Perhaps we will not be great people, chosen by God, but just happy." Oh. The foreshadowing. And this is such a sad passage. I feel her resignation.

"This is a cousins' war indeed," my mother says. "We all have those we love on the other side. We all have to face killing our own family. Sometimes we can be merciful. God knows, she is not a merciful woman; but she thought she would be merciful to me." Just like in the first book, Margaret and Jacquetta's relationship is so special to me. This part means a lot.

Intrigued by their dynamic so far 🤔

Reading this one with my book club and couldn't be more excited aaa wish me luck 🤞🏼 it's my first Emily Henry book!
