The York King (House of York Book 2) by [Amy Licence]

Genre: Historical Fiction, Literary Fiction, Mystery & Thrillers

I love historical fiction, I'm more familiar with the Tudors but recently I've been delving into the earlier days of this period, the York/Lancaster troubles.
I enjoyed this book but it didn't hook me in as I expected. I found I kept putting it aside as I was bogged down in details of who, and why and how, and the politics. I want to read all that of course, but I like it to be a little more on the personal level. At times I felt I was back in school history lessons being berated by Miss Whitworth for getting names or dates wrong....I kept coming back though and it proved an interesting read though I skipped many of the heavier bits ( blush).
That's my personal issue of course, this book is perfect for those that prefer a different approach. Authors can't please everybody.

Stars: Three, a thought provoking read, especially on the subject of inherited kings, and rights to rule, but a little heavy for me personally.
