The Other Queen
The Other Queen
By Philippa Gregory
16 hours (book on CD)
All the characters are kind of annoying. Mary is constantly swearing revenge, I stopped believing her about a quarter of the way through. All constantly talk about people and situations the same way- "verb" like "some odd thing". "Hissed like a snake" or "dropped between them like an executors blade", got very repetitive. Headings on sections are so rushed, like the actor is speaking a run-on sentence. Didn't like how the storyline starts right in the middle, not enough flash-backs so I felt like I was in the dark half the time. Guess I should have read a history book on this particular woman before reading this fiction book!
8/10
