I give Three Sisters, Three Queens by Philippa Gregory 3 stars.
I read The King's Curse just before this, so the start of this takes us back in time to about the same starting time as that book; 1501, but with a shorter timespan, bringing us into 1533. This time it's written in the first person perspective of Margaret Tudor, Queen of Scotland and elder sister of Henry VIII. It was really nice to read from her perspective, especially about the Battle of Flodden. What I didn't like is that Gregory makes Margaret sound like a spoiled brat throughout the entire book. One thing is at the start when she's 12, but she acts like this as an adult as well. She only cares about being superior (in rank) to her little sister Mary and sister-in-law Katherine of Aragon (the other two alluded to in the title) and being classist in general. I thought we'd get the perspectives from the other two, but alas.
