Jan 9, 2010 · The book ends abruptly, but that’s not surprising since The White Queen is the first in a trilogy called The Cousins’ War and will be followed by The Red Queen and The White Princess which will focus on Margaret Beaufort and Elizabeth of York respectively.
The White Queen I enjoyed reading this book it kept my attention from the beginning to the very end. The story is about a woman named Elizabeth Woodville.
