The King’s Curse, the latest book in the Cousins War series, follows Lady Margaret Poole, a Plantagenet descendant, during the reign of Tudor king Henry VIII. She is in danger solely because of her background as she and her relatives represent a threat to the Tudors since they were the royal family up until the conquest of England by the previous king Henry VII. But when Margaret becomes a lady in waiting to Katharine Of Aragon she and her family become prominent again at court. However after a short rise, they gradually fall afoul of the increasingly tyrannical and illogical Henry VIII. This is one book where I had a feeling of dread throughout my reading because I already knew Lady Margaret’s fate and her story does not end happily. But for those of you who enjoyed the other Cousins War books, as well as those who enjoy historical fiction, this book is an interesting companion to the others in the series.
