a sad dissappointment - By: Ruth, 14 Nov 2008 
i am sad to report i have to agree with the other reviews. i have been a BTB fan for many years, having been enchanted by a woman of substance & her other stories. this & the other booksin the seris have been dreadfully dissappointing. history rewritten poorly!
come back origionality or give it up & hope to be remembered for the good ones!
Heirs of Ravenscar - By: M. Burton, 02 Aug 2008 I give this book one star mainly because it never got started. Theres over 300 pages & it never got started. It felt like I was reading a persons day to day life, not very interesting. Some parts of the book were enjoyable to read but overall it just never took off & never kept my interest for long
not to be recommended - By: Mrs. A. Wright, 20 Apr 2008 
Having been disappointedin the Ravenscar Dynasty I was cautious about reading this book. This book continues the story of Edward & Richard Deravenal really Edward & Richard of York but ending with Harry Turner really Henry Tudor. It was just as irritating as the first one. Sorry Ms Taylor Bradford but stick to making up your own plots you do it so much better. i believe this to be a trilogy but I doubt if I will read the third book
a poor effort - By: M. J. Lardner, 26 Mar 2008 This was my first & last Taylor Bradford book - it was slow, boring & an historical mess! The characters were one dimensional & the plot lacked passion or excitment. I gave the book up about 2/3rds of the way through as an act of self-preservation - i was quickly losing the will to live!
The Lazy Author's Guide to Making (more) Megabucks - By: Ms. K. Fielden, 14 Mar 2008 Oh dear!! Quite the most abysmal read I've had for a long time. Miss Taylor Bradford is well-known for her "blockbusters" - but this is the laziest piece of fiction mixed with "historical fact"in a weird kind of mish-mash - maybe she's trying to invent a new genre - "How to be Write a Novel where the Dear Reader Does Not Care About Any of the Main Characters" (and what a boring bunch these Deravenels are!) obviously ripping off the Plantagenets & the Tudors (I mean - Edward D even had a mistress called Jane Shaw - check your history books!). As for Harry Turner wanting to divorce pious, saintly RC Catherine, of Spanish extraction, to marry the (ahem) "sloe-eyed beaty Anne Bowles".... Dear Lord, it's put me off buying another book by this woman. Ever.
(God knows what the editorial team really thought about it... I'm guessing she's successful enough for them not to be, shall we say, completely honest.)
