A review by asreadbyallie
The Last Daughter of York by Nicola Cornick

adventurous emotional hopeful mysterious medium-paced

4.0

The Last Daughter of a York is a beautifully descriptive novel that is perfect for the historical fiction reader–especially if you have a huge interest in English history. It answers the question: whatever happened to the princes in the Tower? To which, in many of our history books and common knowledge, there is a lot of speculation and suspicion, but no definite answer except they passed away under the guardianship of their uncle, Richard III. 

What makes this a stand-out historical novel (for me), is the way it balances reality, history, adventure, mystery, and magic together, creating a world that makes you believe that there is always an answer to even the grimmest of circumstances. There are many tales out there that bring the past and present together, but this novel is one of the few that make it seamless and thought out without making it complicated to the readers.

Overall recommendation:

I definitely recommend this book to my fellow history lovers. However, if you’re not into history, I still recommend this book to people out there that want to read a story of love, loyalty, commitment, and ultimately, closure.
