Elizabeth of York has always been a fascinating historical figure to me. I've read about her before, but mainly in books where she's a minor character. It was great to read a book that focused on her and the time she lived through, and I always enjoy Weir's books, having read most of them, her books being very readable and enjoyable for historical fans like me.

This book has a LOT of fact contained within its pages. I downloaded it about 2 months ago, and it's taken me that long to complete reading it - not because I didn't enjoy it, but because most of the time I read it, I had to have a copy of the family tree sitting in front of me. Keeping all of the persons involved straight was a nightmare (for someone like me who can barely remember her husband's name most nights!) and having a 'cheat sheet' handy was very helpful.

There were sections that I skimmed through, simply because there was so much detail involved.

There are some new theories being floated in this book, some of which I agreed with and some of which I did not.
