About this audiobook
Two women, two very different destinies, drawn together in the shadow of the Tower of London
Elizabeth of York, her life already tainted by dishonour and tragedy, now queen to the first Tudor king, Henry the VII.
Joan Vaux, servant of the court, straining against marriage and motherhood and privy to the deepest and darkest secrets of her queen. Like the ravens, Joan must use her eyes and her senses, as conspiracy whispers through the dark corridors of the Tower.
Through Joan’s eyes, The Lady of the Ravens inhabits the squalid streets of Tudor London, the imposing walls of its most fearsome fortress and the glamorous court of a kingdom in crisis.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5You know this could’ve been a really good book but the focus on the freaking ravens is utterly over the top ridiculous and totally takes away from the overall story. I get the ravens were important to her but good grief! to go on ad nauseum about it...ugh. I finally gave up reading this book because it was just too boring.
