WORST Philippa Gregory Novel I’ve Read..And I’ve read them ALL
- By MoonShyne on 2019-08-25
Written by: Philippa Gregory
Publisher's Summary
Heiress to the red rose of Lancaster, Margaret Beaufort never surrenders her belief that her house is the true ruler of England and that she has a great destiny before her. Her ambitions are disappointed when her sainted cousin, Henry VI, fails to recognize her as a kindred spirit, and she is even more dismayed when he sinks into madness. Her mother mocks her plans, revealing that Margaret will always be burdened with the reputation of her father, one of the most famously incompetent English commanders in France. But worst of all for Margaret is when she discovers that her mother is sending her to a loveless marriage in remote Wales.

Excellent Narration and Story
The first few chapters were difficult not because it wasn't good but the nature of Margaret Beaufort struggle.
It's very sad that Margaret couldn't raise her own son
She is always angry and resentful...who wouldn't be?
Its starts to get interesting at chapter 21
Especially
When Margaret says King Edward marries a nobody 😂
Overall well done, the time was captured perfectly I think.

I love medieval history
This series is great. Philippa Gregory weaves a compelling tale of politics, intrigue and history. My one big complaint about these books is the narrator. She speaks in such a dreary, depressing, miserable monotone that I eventually start to feel the same way. I would like to listen to more of her novels but the thought of listening to Amato’s voice for hours on end stops me.

She Stood Before God...
and believed he stood for her.
The Red Queen is an interesting tale by Philippa Gregory that follows Margaret Beaufort and her journey to become Margaret R, mother to the true King of England.
While I wish I could say I loved this as much as The Lady of the Rivers (I mistakenly thought this was the second book in the series), it would not be true. This book makes a strong third book in the Plantagenet and the Tudors series but it fails to be as compelling as the first book until about 2/3rds of the way through.
Bianca Amato does a great job but unfortunately there are two sections in which there is a random change in perspective that really throws off the narrative pacing. If there were a production score category I would not penalize the performance score.
This is an interesting piece of the series but Margaret becomes more and more of an unlikeable character as the book progresses without a lot of focus on this point. I would have liked to see the character brought to task for her unfailingly large ego and righteousness.
