When I first read The White Queen, I was so eager to know more about Elizabeth Woodville's mother that it made me crazy. I was so happy when I heard that the third book in the series was to be about Jacquetta.

I have to say, for every Philippa book I read there is a plethora of beautiful imagery and creative narration.

I read all the way to the end within less than a week (which is saying a lot for my schedule).

This book, including publication of the King Maker's Daughter, is my favorite of the series. It stays in her focus and her husband's. And they have a spiritual bond that makes their romance more exciting! It's nice to see that England had legends of 'witchery' in this time and was depicted realistically. The only disappointment I suppose, was that the story did not go to the last day of her life as a grandmother of Edward IV's children.

Beyond that an ultimate favorite!
