LOVE Philippa Gregory!

2.5 A disappointment when compared to her other King Henry books.

I've always been interested in Henry's Queens, with Anne Boleyn and Katherine Howard taking centre stage for obvious reasons. I hadn't heard much about Kateryn Parr so this story was very interesting and has inspired me to do more research into her fascinating life.

I didn't know a lot about Henry's last wife and I felt like this book really told her story. That being said, the book was fairly boring. A lot of religion. A lot of discussion about religion. It was a bit slow.

I've always found Katherine Parr to be a fascinating woman, but the depiction of her in this book falls flat.
