Well, I quit
Outlander for the third time. I just cannot focus on the story. So, I have moved on to one of my favorite authors, Philippa Gregory. I have already posted about Historical Fiction, and I consider Gregory the queen of the genre.
My fiance and I went to the Dominican Republic recently, so I needed a few books to occupy my time while on the plane. I absolutely hate to fly, and I am a really nervous traveler. So, having a book really calms me down during turbulence (which was minimal during our flights thank goodness!). On the way down, I read
The Boleyn Inheritance.
This book is third in the Tudor Court series, and I was anxious to read it after my great experience reading
The Other Boleyn Girl.
Inheritance was awesome! I could not put this book down. I actually read this book while sitting on the beach in the Dominican, and finished the book before our three day trip was over. Jane Boleyn, known as Lady Rochford, was the person you wanted to see fall in
The Other Boleyn Girl, and you finally see her get what she deserves in this novel. After I finished this, I started on
The White Queen, and I am actually still working on it. I am about two-thirds of the way through, and it does align with the mini-series that aired on Starz (loved that series!).
While I have not enjoyed this novel as much as
Inheritance, it is still a nice read. The main focus of this novel is the large number of wars King Edward finds himself fighting to retain the claim on his throne. I am hoping after finally finishing the 6th battle in this novel, that it will die down, and I will actually get a little more character development. Overall, it's an interesting book, and true to Gregory's historical fiction style.
