Rating: - Touch of Yorkshire
I loved Ned, and I loved the plot. I suppose because I am from Yorkshire maybe it helped, but I haven't read Barbara Taylor Bradford books recently, but I am looking forward to the sequel. I would have liked to have seen a bit more of the modern day 'war of the roses'within the plot, but I am hoping to see more of this aspect in the next book. I have stood on the Cliff edge and looked out to the cold North Sea as described in the book, I like to see Barbara continues to include her County of birth ... Read More

Rating: - What a great read
I really enjoyed this book. I felt that it flowed wonderfully whilst holding your attention at the same time.

I really like Ned and I thought it was nice to see some of the not so nice people get what they deserve. No doubt as this is fiction and also a trilogy more will be heard from the otherside as it were in the next book, which I look forward to reading soon.

Rating: - Oh, No, No. No. No, Barbara
Well, don't really know what to say except that it was obvious from the first few pages that this book is based on Edward 4th. and his life including his beautiful but terrible wife, Elizabeth Woodville.

All in all, I found the book rather ... Read More

Rating: - confusing
Essentially the tale of Edward and Richard of York brought into the 20 century. I read this one and will probaby read the next in the series but must say I prefer the real story of Edward and Richard. I found the similarity in names confusing and even irritating at times e.g.Hastings became Hasling. I also found it irresistable to think about what had happened to the Yorks rather than pay attention to what was happening to the Derevenals. I suppose the idea was worth a try but I think Ms Taylor Bradford should ... Read More

Rating: - One to be avoided
When I started to read the book I hadn't realised the link to the Plantagenets. I soon did and the story written round real events but updated to the Edwardian period and with thinly disguised names irritated me. If you want to read a good fiction book about the Plantagenets, read The Sunne in Splendour.
