Book Reviews of To the Tower Born
Book Review: Enjoyable and Suspenseful
Summary: 4 Stars
I previously attempted to read Robin Maxwell's 'The Secret Diary' of Anne Boleyn and I just couldn't get into it, I thought it a bit smutty for serious literature and I had to pass on finishing it. So, I wasn't sure what I would think of this book from the same author.
I recently finished 'A Rose For the Crown' by Anne Easter Smith and I wanted to read more about Richard III and the princes in the tower. I had this on the shelf and thought it was the perfect next choice.
The story of the lost princes is a fascinating one and I really enjoyed Maxwell's conclusion. I thought she did a very nice job of simply communicating the frightening chain of events that are historically known to have happened and weaving in her ideas about what happened to the princes. And while her heroines aren't perfectly Medieval I certainly didn't mind.
I enjoyed the way she told the story, I enjoyed the characters and the only criticism I have is that the dialog was often very obviously a tool used to inform the reader of the history of events rather than what would likely have been said between the characters.
I enjoyed this book and will look for others by Robin Maxwell.
