what's that 'the white queens' about? was that hissing good or bad or what? (i trust your knowing in this sort of thing so i'm interested in what you have to say!!!)
haha itās a phillipa gregory adaptation of elizabeth woodvilleās pov on the end of the wars of the roses (elizabeth is the wife of edward iv, who he married despite the advice of his relatives and then sparked a war with his uncle, as you do) and i just. phillipa gregory. iāve only read her tudors cycle (other boleyn girl and the one about kitty howard i think??) and from what i remember itās sensationalised and the woman are frequently reduced to very simple stock female characters so. for a storyline thatās dealing with some of my faves (marguerite dāanjou! elizabeth woodville! the nevilles!) iām not really pleased about it.Ā
mostly iām upset thatĀ thisĀ is the ālast plantagenetsā series weāre getting, when the source material is pretty weak sensationalising shit and bleh to begin with
(i have heard rumors that elizabeth woos edward iv with magic or something SO AGH)
(sunne in splendour would have been super preferable despite my riii ambiguity basically)
