The King Must Die The Isabella Books Book 2 edition by N Gemini Sasson Literature Fiction eBooks

A complicated and spellbinding interpretation of the love affair and partnership of Isabella and Sir Roger Mortimer. I have read both Isabeau and the King Must Die in rapid succession - one must follow the other in order to follow the tragic consequences of their actions. While I believe that this is historical fiction at its finest, it still may not have all of the facts salient to the lives of the characters depicted. The narratives of Isabeau, Roger and Young Edward soon to become Edward III are revealing, insightful and explain their actions to the reader. Both Isabeau and Roger share their love of power as does the young King to be, Edward, and will ultimately result in unavoidable conflict. I found one flaw in the King Must Die - I did not think that Roger had any narrative, perhaps a few, but not not enough to know what he was thinking. It could possibly be due to the ending which had a lot to do with his actions. This is a must read, perhaps not exactly historically accurate, but as close as possible. Great writing - keeps your attention throughout!

The King Must Die The Isabella Books Book 2 edition by N Gemini Sasson Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews

I enjoyed reading about Isabella, Sir Mortimer, & Edward III. I've visited many places mentioned in the novel when I was stationed in the UK, and it brought life to the memories of my visit. When the author mentions Ely Cathedral, she mentions how it was seen far in the distance. It's nickname is "The Ship of the Fens" because it resembles a ship when viewed from a far distance. I believe it is the tallest structure in that region. The story itself kept me turning the pages. I'm looking forward to reading more of the author's books.
Enlightening history of Isabella and Edwards II and III. Keeping the truth about Edward II 's life/death was a very effective technique. I couldn't have lived during this period in history.
I wept at the closing scene, the author having so deftly imbued both Isabella and young Edward with deep layers of human personality. The author's presentation of how the story may have lived within the skeletal structure of known time lines and accepted scholarship is richly convincing from both an emotional and psychological perspective. The embroidery, grit, and spice dance in elegant, eloquent balance as well. The horrors of enduring a crossing of storm tossed seas, or crippling cold and mud-slogged pace of war are as well painted as the pageantry of royal courts, or the heat of private passions. Strength, frailty, vision, ambition, hatred, devotion, calculation, delight . . . An excellent read.
Of course, much of the stories of Roger Mortimer, Queen Isabella and Kings Edward II and Edward III have been lost in time. The personalities brought to life in Vol. 1-2 of this series are highly fictionalized, and told from an autobiographical perspective, but probably a good guess from the little we actually know. Although mis-titled (no kings die in the book), it is a highly entertaining view of the characters combined with the history in an attempt to tell the time period from Edward I (Longshanks) to the War of rhe Roses. An interesting and fun read.
Being an avid reader of historical fiction, I couldn't wait to start this book. The book follows the history of Isabella and Edward II, their son an heir Edward III and of course all of the favourites of each. Was Edward II really murdered so that his son could take the crown? Was he gay, as the book indicates - historical records suggest that he was. His favourites (always dandies) were avarice and their greed almost bankrupted the monarchy and country. Edward III was a courageous King, although flawed. He loved his country, his wife Phillipa and his mistress Alice Perrers, who was said to have stolen the jewels from his dead body.
This book was entertaining and well written. I found the historical slant unique among other books on this topic. Without spoiling it, I believe only one other source came to the same conclusion about the king. Isabeau's POV was interesting and sympathetic. Again, a slant that has not been tried with this particular time period. I had trouble connecting with the young King, however, even though part of the book was in his POV. Mortimer was more sympathetic than most other writers portray him, until the very end. Fascinating topic, the struggle for power within a family.
I absolutely love this authors work! I was lucky enough to accidently buy all of this authors work in the proper order, which continues seamlessly into her next series of two books involving Isabella and her ill-fated love affair with Rodger Mortimer when her marriage to the new King of England prefers the company of his male companion(s) rather than his beautiful wife. Based on historical facts, I highly recommend all of her books and am now on the email notification list for any new books offered. Excellent writing style and NO typos; wow!!
