Bloodline by Conn Iggulden

4.0

Review - Not one of my favourite Conn Iggulden books. I actually preferred the previous two - [b:Stormbird|17830079|Stormbird (Wars of the Roses, #1)|Conn Iggulden|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1385271736s/17830079.jpg|24944890] and [b:Wars of the Roses: Trinity|22468475|Wars of the Roses Trinity (Wars of the Roses, #2)|Conn Iggulden|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1429823235s/22468475.jpg|41908196]. I didn't think that Edward IV came across very well - from the historical record, he was a strong king, older and wiser than his years when he came to the throne, but here he comes across as a stroppy teenager. Nevertheless, the descriptions of the areas and people are very vibrant and really make you feel like you're there.
