![]() ![]() It was a lot more dramatic and added an extra dimension to the relationships between Remo and his family and Serafina and her family but I did feel that it meant that the relationship between Remo and Serafina wasn’t quite as convincing as it could have been. I liked that the story was a little different to any of the previous books by this author and that the reasons that pull the characters apart and bring them back together are something I wasn’t expecting. ![]() She goes through a lot and is put in one impossible position after another but keeps surviving.

Richard III may have reigned only from 1483 to 1485, but those two short years and the events leading to them have provoked centuries of historical debate over Richard's character. Yet, if Richard did not kill them, then who did? Similarly, there is no evidence he slew Henry's heir, Edward of Lancaster after the Battle of Tewekesbury. It is quite likely Richard was present at the death of Henry VI, but on Edward's command, and there is no evidence that he wielded the knife. Did Richard III Really Kill The Princes in the Tower? Richard cannot escape all blame as they were in his custody when they disappeared. ![]() |
