alyshadeshae 's review for:

The Queen's Fool by Philippa Gregory
4.0

My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:

4.0 out of 5.0 stars

The very worst thing about this book is that it doesn’t seem possible that one girl can just flit back and forth between enemies with so few consequences. Also, she’s psychic and sees angels? Eh…

The very best thing about this book is that we get a completely different point of view in this book. The previous books were typically narrated by people who have been inside a royal court for most of their lives. This book is narrated by a young Jewish girl, new to the country, and masquerading as a boy. It is unusual, to say the least.
