Bloodline by Conn Iggulden
5.0
This was a great payoff that was cooking for the past two books. While both [b:Stormbird|17830079|Stormbird (Wars of the Roses, #1)|Conn Iggulden|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1385271736s/17830079.jpg|24944890] & [b:Margaret of Anjou|22549626|Margaret of Anjou (War of the Roses, #2)|Conn Iggulden|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1429248731s/22549626.jpg|41908196] were good and I enjoyed them, Bloodline is no doubt what they were really building to.
I think Conn Iggulden really shines when he is writing dialogue. He spent the first two books building up these characters to the point where you're hanging on every word they say. I found myself sympathizing with characters on both sides of the conflict, which I really thought was something special and which requires talented writing.
Although the Wars won't be over until [b:Ravenspur: Rise of the Tudors|28820403|Ravenspur Rise of the Tudors (The Wars of the Roses, #4)|Conn Iggulden|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1460645293s/28820403.jpg|49038074], all of the characters and plot threads converged at this point for a riveting story dedicated solely to the rising action.
