There are moments in which we linger longer such as during Margaret Beaufort's peri-natal confinement which may be how some of you prefer your narrative? Speaking personally, although I love the short-sketch-and-chronicle set up, due to its nature some key moments are distant glimmers rather than centrally witnessed. For instance the uprising led by Jack Cade/John Mortimer is reported rather than seen, although acknowledged as a manifestation of royal unpopularity.
I have a suggestion then: perhaps we should consider ''Succession'' as a valuable companion volume to books like Conn's [[[[Wars of the Roses: Stormbird (Wars of the Roses 1) by Conn Iggulden| Stormbird (Wars of the Roses 1)]]? In this way we don't miss out on the way in which the voices of history are brought to us by Livi while we also weave it into the bigger picture.
For me the addition of the chronicles is an inspired idea, intriguing as it enriches. The trouble is that it's also made me rather greedy for more!
