It's not that the book was bad. It's that it isn't as good as Philippa Gregory's other stuff and that's probably large due to the fact that it was her first book. The main character is devious and more than a little bit evil and yet you can't help but feel yourself drawn to her. She's a bit Scarlett O'Hara-esque.
I enjoyed the story and was surprised to see it end the way it did. I'm starting on the second book in the trilogy today and I'm eager to see where the story goes. ...more

Surprisingly raunchy AND (at the end) creepy, but nonetheless compelling with interesting and occasionally complex characters. Actually, the characters and the plot were not particularly amazing, but the writing was good and I found myself quite drawn in, eager to read what stupid mistake the heroine would make next. In a way, the heroine of this book is the same heroine of all this author's books (that I've read), only the circumstances have changed.
