News From Laggeland: About The Red Queen

About The Red Queen

I just read "The Red Queen" by Philippa Gregory. She wrote "The Other Boleyn Girl" which I thought was a really good book. This was sorely disappointing. It only got 1 star. Don't bother. Now I'm not sure if I should read anything else by her. Any thoughts?
