3.5 stars 
 As laborious as my reading of The White Queen has sometimes seemed, it is a fascinating, fantastic book. Yes, I bitched and moaned about reading it, but that was on me and the circumstances of the reading; I sipped, when gulping would have been more rewarding. And yes, sometimes I do muchly prefer a fairy tale to historical fact... *eyeroll* All whining aside, I do believe I'll be reading the next book. Someday. Because the War of the Roses is just that interesting.
