A Dance of Shadows. The Price of Valor. Book Five of the Restoration Series. You Die When You Die. I shuddered, yes shuddered, when the Crown issued the Writs of Attainder.
Stripping a man of his property is a drastic measure, and Margaret, acting for Henry, made an error in judgment in issuing the Writs. I felt that the war escalated by that action. The epilogue tells a story in a few words. Iggulden, for a Good Read! Sep 25, Beorn rated it it was ok Shelves: Sadly disappointed by this book. There's none of the intrigue, treachery, subterfuge or evocative emotion of the first book, leaving what's left feeling remarkably hollow. Richard, Duke of York and one of the key protagonists, seems to have lost all trace of his backbone for no apparent reason.
Derry Brewer, spymaster, is hardly used at all and everything just kind of plods along at it's own pedestrian pace rather than keeping your mind buzzing and ticking over. Even the relevance of the name of t Sadly disappointed by this book. Even the relevance of the name of the book, 'Trinity', isn't explained until the very end, after at least two of the main characters have meet sticky, or rather sharp, ends and feels more like an afterthought to tie it into the next book like selotape rather than something directly related to the story that unfolds in the book it is the title of.
Generally rather limp, trudging and mechanical, this book is virtually everything I hoped it wouldn't be. There's also a slightly strange moment when the author explicitly says that both Warwick and Caesar's goal was London Don't get me wrong, I'll probably still read the third instalment but this has seriously dented any likelihood of me actually buying a copy of book 3 and made me most likely to just get one from the library.

I'm not that much into historical fiction, but I actually liked this one.: Well, that was fabulous.
Mar 28, Mark Harrison rated it really liked it. Excellent second book as York, Salisbury and Warwick plot against Henry, his brilliant French wife Margaret and the Houses allied to them.

Lots of plotting, betrayal and breathless battles. Real life Game of Thrones but less dragons. Superb pace and very satisfying. This series just gets better. I so appreciate the historical accuracy, too. Great and complicated characters. I wrote a short review for the whole series here. Oct 06, Rebekah May rated it it was amazing Shelves: Stormbird review Book 3: Bloodline review Book 4: Rise of the Tudors review Upon rereading, my appreciation for this novel only grows.
I'm removing my original review because I have quite a lot to add and I don't want this to end up too long.

I found that, after reading this back-to-back with Stormbird , the change in writing style is actually quite noticeable. I felt like this was more mature, almost more confident. This novel moves into more of a starting place for the Wars of the Roses, if there even is one, where book one was more of a set up and some aggravation between York and Lancaster. Here, amidst battles between families, Iggulden's writing flourished.
The battle of St. Alban's was written incredibly; then there was the defence of the Tower against Warwick, his army, and the people of London, a scene that has stuck with me since I first read it; and finally the battle at Sandal. This book isn't for the faint hearted - there are arrows through faces, cut throats, rolling heads, and rivers running red. All of it, though, very well written. The character dynamics are very interesting. A lot of the key players were introduced in book one, and so we get to see them in more depth in Trinity.
It was interesting to see York being manipulated so much by Salisbury. This whole war seems to stem from Salisbury trying to get back at the Percy family, and once there was a threat to the King what could Margaret do but defend the Lancaster family? I actually really like Warwick, he's one of my favourite characters, and I always feel like he has his own agenda, though I'm not entirely sure what it is.
He's very independent, even though at this point he's working towards his father's and York's cause, it never seems that he's working for them, if that makes sense. Derry, as always, is in the middle of everything, and Margaret just gets stronger and stronger. In my original review I said my only problem with this novel was that it slowed down near the end, only to go through the events at Sandal really fast. I didn't feel that the second time around. I was eager to continue reading, it never felt slow to me. The amassing armies and subsequent clashing of them flowed really well. Maybe it's because I'm reading this straight after book one, or that I read it across a longer period of time, I don't know.
But my opinion has definitely changed there. Overall, I really enjoy this series. Like I said, this one has a lot of fighting in it, and if you're wary of blood and guts this might not be for you. It's never overly bloody or graphic, but there is the presence of war throughout. May 06, Ed rated it really liked it.

The mid 15th century dispute was an amazing blood feud by the major British royal families forced to choose fealty to the bedridden King Henry the Sixth or Richard Plantagenet, the Duke of York and Defender of the Crown.

The Hidden Enemy (Trinity, #1)
This advice would probably have been of value to the Duke of York before Henry's Queen Margaret of Anjou marshaled the assistance of Tudor's Welch archers, the best in world, 4, crazy Scot warriors in addition to armies from the Somerset and Percy houses. Queen Margaret, a beautiful 30 year old French woman, loved and protected Henry and their six year old son and heir to the throne enough to throw Britain into a major civil war giving new meaning to "standing by your man! Historical fiction at it's Bernard Cornwell best! Jun 08, Cormac Healy rated it it was amazing.
This is comfortably better than the first book in the series, which I found a little convoluted, and the plot was spread a little too thin much like butter scraped over too much bread. Thankfully, Trinity was a return to form from my favourite writer of historical fiction. As someone who knows very little about the Wars of the Roses I was absolutely loving the twists and turns, and the conflicting ambitions of the characters, especially that of the Duke of York.
There is barely a dull moment, This is comfortably better than the first book in the series, which I found a little convoluted, and the plot was spread a little too thin much like butter scraped over too much bread. There is barely a dull moment, and I flew through the second half of the book in one sitting. A book I would definitely recommend, and I can't bloody wait to read the next instalment. To say things were left unsettled would be the understatement of the 15th Century see what I did there!!! The third book has been released!
I am loving life. It has duly been sent to the kindle, let the carnage begin!

Jul 15, Girl with her Head in a Book rated it it was ok Shelves: Conn Iggulden has made a name for himself not only through The Dangerous Book For Boys but also as the author of historical battle epics such as Emperor and Conqueror. Trinity is the second instalment in his latest War of the Roses series which takes us back to the origins of the conflict that tore down the Plantagenet dynasty for good.

Richard's defeat at Bosworth is well-known and even Edward IV's climb to power is fairly well understood particularly for those of us who hail from the North but the original power struggles at the heart of Henry VI's court have received very little coverage in fiction. Iggulden therefore has the chance to make his mark therefore in this relatively untrodden period of history but somehow the result falls slightly flat. Jun 10, Isaac rated it really liked it. An improvement on the first book. The Wars of the Roses start in earnest. The pace is fast. The cast is huge. And again, Iggulden saves the best for last with a memorable ending at the Battle of Wakefield.
It's a shame the first book "Stormbird" had very little to do with the actual "Wars of the Roses". You could almost read this book first and ignore Stormbird. In this re-read, I focused on Queen Margaret. Her situation was generally dire, yet she kept the crown for her husband and for her son, the heir apparent to the crown.
Again I say thank you, Mr. Iggulden, for a good read. Ik hoop dat deel 3 snel wordt vertaald! Okay, let me rephrase it a bit, I love Conn Iggulden and his ability to create a story where you are immersed into it. It was good to see Margaret grow to be a strong woman, especially when her husband is unable to not only lead the country, but also take care of himself.
Trinity is a book full of the early battles of War of the Roses. Maybe Conn might write about the Tudor dynasty? There are no discussion topics on this book yet. Also publishes under author name C. I was born in the normal way in , and vaguely remember half-pennies and sixpences. I have written for as long as I can remember: I taught English for seven years and was Head of English at St. I have enormous respect for those who still labour at the chalk-face. My mother is Irish and from an early age she told me history as an exciting series of stories — with dates.
My great-grandfather was a Seannachie, so I suppose story-telling is in the genes somewhere. Perhaps crucially, he also loved poetry and cracking good tales. Though it seems a dated idea now, I began teaching when boys were told only girls were good at English, despite the great names that must spring to mind after that statement. I love just about anything by David Gemmell, or Peter F. Hamilton or Wilbur Smith. I suppose the one thing that links all those is the love of a good tale. Other books in the series.
