Format:Paperback
I hoped that this sequel would make up for the dreadful Ravenscar Dynasty but it is awful. It follows the story of the end of the Plantagenets and the rise of the Tudors but set in the 2oth century; so if you know a little history the storyline will be predictable. I would say the only enjoyment is wondering how she is going to bump them all off! It is no longer possible to behead your wife. Please Barbara go back to your old style.

Format:Paperback
I give this book one star mainly because it never got started. Theres over 300 pages and it never got started. It felt like I was reading a persons day to day life, not very interesting. Some parts of the book were enjoyable to read but overall it just never took off and never kept my interest for long

Format:Hardcover
Oh dear!! Quite the most abysmal read I've had for a long time. Miss Taylor Bradford is well-known for her "blockbusters" - but this is the laziest piece of fiction mixed with "historical fact" in a weird kind of mish-mash - maybe she's trying to invent a new genre - "How to be Write a Novel where the Dear Reader Does Not Care About Any of the Main Characters" (and what a boring bunch these Deravenels are!) obviously ripping off the Plantagenets and the Tudors (I mean - Edward D even had a mistress called Jane Shaw - check your history books!). As for Harry Turner wanting to divorce pious, saintly RC Catherine, of Spanish extraction, to marry the (ahem) "sloe-eyed beaty Anne Bowles".... Dear Lord, it's put me off buying another book by this woman. Ever.
(God knows what the editorial team really thought about it... I'm guessing she's successful enough for them not to be, shall we say, completely honest.)

a poor effort
This was my first and last Taylor Bradford book - it was slow, boring and an historical mess! The characters were one dimensional and the plot lacked passion or excitment. Read more

most disappointing
Heirs of Ravenscar was a great disappointment. The standard of writing was abysmal: as soon as there was a risk of characters becoming too complicated, they were simply killed off. Read more
