The Usurper King (The Plantagenet Legacy Book 3)
Description
<p><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">First, he led his own uprising. Then he captured a forsaken king. Henry had no intention of taking the crown for himself; it was given to him by popular acclaim. Alas, it didn't take long to realize that that having the kingship was much less rewarding than striving for it. Only three months after his coronation, Henry IV had to face a rebellion led by Richard's disgruntled favorites. Repressive measures led to more discontent. His own supporters turned against him, demanding more than he could give. The haughty Percies precipitated the Battle of Shrewsbury which nearly cost him the throne—and his life.</span><br style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;" /><span style="color:rgb(15,17,17);font-family:'Amazon Ember', Arial, sans-serif;font-size:14px;">To make matters worse, even after Richard II's funeral, the deposed monarch was rumored to be in Scotland, planning his return. The king just wouldn't stay down and malcontents wanted him back.</span></p>
Story Behind The Book
Once upon a time, Red Riding Hood fell in love with the wolf. It ended badly.
Reviews
If I said this was one of the best books I've read this year, I would
feel like I was making an understatement. Even giving it five stars
seems like an understatement. It's that good. I've waited for this book
to come out for a long time, and it was definitely worth the wait. I was
pulled into the story from page one, and I could barely make myself
stop reading long enough to do things that needed to be done. You know,
like go to work. Very well written, exciting, romantic...these are just a
few words to describe this story that wove it's way into my heart. I
won't write a synopsis because some of the other reviewers have already
done that. I'll just say that if you want to be completely blown away by
a good story, whether you're a young adult or an "older" adult, you
have to buy this book! ~Lauralynn Elliott on Amazon.com<br /><br />I have followed Kait on Twitter for awhile now and have seen the "birth"
of this book through her blog. I knew it was targeted to a Young Adult
market but thought I'd give it a try.
<br /><br />Downloaded a Kindle copy of Red a few hours ago. Thought I'd read a
few pages, get a feel for it...I just FINISHED it. I was lost.
Completely and utterly lost. Hours went by and I had no idea!
<br /><br />Wow. Just fantastic. Characters were so real it was like I could see
them in front of me. Unlike the usual teen angst-filled, hormone-fueled
drama found in much of today's novels the characters in Red are fully
formed and capable of intelligent thoughts and actions. Plus they don't
sparkle...always a plus.
<br /><br />Thank you, Kait, for such a great read.
<br /><br />Now go write more...and hurry!
