About this listen
From the Sunday Times best-selling author of The Queen's Choice. A tale of treachery, power-hungry families and legal subterfuges. Woven through it is a remarkable story of a beautiful girl, desirable as a bride, growing to be a woman of foresight and power.
A story of love and loyalty and of the cost of personal ambition. The story of the woman who would ultimately wield power as the King Mother to 10-year-old King Richard II.

The shadow Queen.
Struggled to persevere. Seemed to be mainly a narrative, circling the same story line, with little colour or detail. I did not have a picture of these events or the characters. I found the narrator flat and irritating. I'm usually entranced by similar books. I'm sure this is not a reflection of other books by this author.

Finished just as it was getting interesting!
Most novels likes this, including others by this author, take the story to the end of the heroines life. This finished leaving the reader in mid-air! Not very satisfactory.

Entertainment
Was not the best of all my audiobooks but certainly entertaining. Not sure I would look for more from this author.

OK for teenagers
I couldn't finish this book because I found it so frustrating. the storyline was silly, frustrating and whiney. I probably would have enjoyed it as a teenager but not now I'm 40. Also I'm used to learning about historical characters and events to an extent whilst listening to historical fiction, but this was just a whiney live story - as far as i listened anyway. Just a wrong assumption, but might be worth noting.
