I listened to the audio version of this book. Other than that, though, I really enjoyed it. I was a little disappointed that the author's note didn't describe what was or wasn't fictionalized, and I thought it ended a little abruptly (I would have liked to have learned the outcomes of a few of the other people – ones I didn't know anything about). I often get bored with descriptions of battles in books, but I actually found some of these quite interesting. I have only just started reading about some of the people from this time period, so it was nice to round that out a bit more, as I hadn't yet read anything that focused on Margaret. Obviously, I knew the outcome, but it was interesting to see how they got there. Despite not liking Margaret (even in a novel!), I really liked this story. But, Margaret did what she had to do to make it happen. But, this was during the Wars of the Roses – cousins fought over the English throne – so there were many other people vying for that crown. From then on, her entire life was devoted to seeing Henry as King of England. Although she felt a calling to God, she was married at 12 years old, and had Henry was she was 13. Margaret Beaufort was Henry VII's mother.
