The Favored Child
Sensual, gripping, sometimes mystical, The Favored Child sweeps the reader irresistibly into the eighteenth century, a revolutionary period in English history. This rich and dramatic novel continues the saga of the Lacey family started in Philippa Gregory’s bestselling and enduringly popular Wideacre.
I’m not even going to give a formal review for this book because it doesn’t deserve it. The good things about the book was the writing style which was amazing, the plot and the historical references which were fascinating, but the breaking point for me: the protagonist/narrator in the book was A WEAKASS BITCH who let people push her around AND THERE IS NOTHING MORE ANNOYING THAN A WEAKASS BITCH (and I can’t stand weakass bitches). It started out really good but it just got more unbearable as I turned each page; there was a couple points in the book where I stopped reading and just skimmed the pages. It’s like, dude I don’t care if you’re freaking lonely… you brought this onto yourself!! Seriously, does it take you like 200 pages to realize that you’re an idiot?! Idiot.
BUT SERIOUSLY … this IS a very good book despite that ONE point I mentioned above just because I have super low tolerance for that stuff (especially when it happens in real life!!). I said it sucked, but I still recommend it if you read Wideacre. 
I gave the book 3/10. It was so painful to read— I don’t know why I keep on putting myself through this. As sad as it may sound, I’m going to buy the last book in the trilogy, Meridon, because I HAVE to finish it. Grr (at myself). I hope the protagonist is more like Beatrice Lacey and not like weakass Julia Lacey!
Check out the conclusion to this trilogy: Meridon.
