The Kingmaker's Daughter is definitely a book that should be on your 'to-read' list if you like chick lit or if you're a Philippa Gregory fan.
Right away I noticed how easy it was to read the story. Part of it, of course, has to do with the point of view: the story is told from a perspective of a girl who is just 8 when the novel begins. Since The Kingmaker's Daughter is historical fiction, I was expecting a little too much description for my liking -- but I was pleasantly surprised! There was just enough description to paint a clear picture, but it was sporadic, sprinkled throughout the story so as not to overwhelm the reader all at once.
Content-wise... well, it's drama of royal proportions. If you enjoy chick lit, you will definitely like The Kingmaker's Daughter. If you are a Philippa Gregory fan, you are in for a treat. She did not disappoint with this new release.
On a totally random and unrelated note, I love that they used to name their fortresses, palaces, castles, etc. That is just so foreign and brilliant! Makes me want to name my cute little apartment :)
