emotional sad medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? Yes
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

The story of Catherine of Aragon is almost entirely historically accurate, which surprised me. However, it lacks the ingredients for an emotionally investing story. Furthermore, it is a bit disappointing that Anne Boleyn is so villainized, although that could be explained due to the story being told from Catherine’s point of view.
