Sequel to "The White Boar". Did not like it quite as much but still a good read. The story takes place after the Battle of Bosworth and focuses on the life of Philip Lovell. His cousin, Francis, is not in it but his children are. Half of the book centers around Perkin Warbeck. I found it interesting to learn more about Warbeck but I found this part of the book a bit tedious. I preferred the story of Philip and his family. I did like the resolution to the mystery of the two sons of Edward IV. If you liked "The White Boar", I would recommend this book.… (mehr)

The story is told by the Lovell cousins Philip (pretty sure he’s fictional) and Francis. Francis is given is wardship to Warwick and goes to Middleham. There he meets Philip after long time and for the first time sees Richard, Duke of Gloucester. There’s lot more going on but I don’t even try to tell it. Wikipedia is your friend.

I did enjoy this but it was bit dry on points and some of the phraisings does show the book’s age. But I liked how the characters were described, especially Richard. He was neither too good or too bad. I loved how Anne Neville’s rescue was portrayed.

It was nice to read that Francis and his wife Anna had their happy moments. They are always portrayed hating each other and while this either didn’t end happily there was some good too.… (mehr)
