Sandra Worth's "Crown of Destiny", her second novel in the story of Richard III, picks up shortly after the first book?s conclusion, with Richard finally wed and attempting to safeguard his new family from the machinations of his brother Edward IV's court. This is a fast read, but one that never lags. Richard grows in this unusual portrayal of a humane man in an inhumane time, one who must confront challenging choices that threaten to rend his world apart; and it paves the way for the third and final book in the trilogy. Once again, Ms Worth succeeds in bringing to life the tumultuous era of the last of the Plantagenets, as well as offering us a different interpretation of a much-maligned historical figure, one that compliments the canon rather than detracts from it. In particular, Richard?s love for Anne and his hopes for England are poignantly rendered, while the meticulous research never intrudes on the narrative. A moving reading experience for all lovers of historical fiction, this book deserves its place on the shelf beside the other illustrious authors who have undertaken the difficult task of elevating Richard from the dark myths surrounding him.
