Another guilty pleasure historical fiction series. Since reading this I've found out that I'm a distant descendent of The Plantagenet King Edward I and also distantly related to Anne Boleyn on her mother's side.

I thought The Boleyn Inheritance was a great 'sequel' of sorts to ' The Other Boleyn' in that she takes a narrative we know only too well (for those of us with historical knowledge) and a style we already enjoy, but by giving us varying perspectives truly indulges the reader to KNOW who thinks what, when.
Some people thought the character development was lacking in Kitty, but they're really missing the entire character of her, whom I feel is introduced better than the other two, giving us a clearer vision of her, versus the other, older women. I thought it was clever that Kitty's open-ness with the reader, also reflected on her personality with her peers as well.

Sejarah Tudor memang paling seru dan penuh kontrovesial. Terutama kisah Henry dan ke-6 istri-istrinya. Buku ini bercerita dengan 3 pov : Anne Cleves, Jane Boyeln dan Katherine Howard.
Philippa adalah salah satu penulis HF andalan. Sayangnya dibuku ini kekuatan dan cara berceritanya kurang banget. Walau beberapa fact tetap digambarkan menarik dengan alur yang relatif cepat. Pov Anne tidak begitu menarik, tapi Kesimpulannya cukup jelas. Dia adalah wanita yang kuat tapi terkungkung tradisi dan aturan keluarga. Tapi aku kagum dengan cintanya dengan anak-anak tirinya. Pov Jane lumayan walau dia banyak bernostalgia sambil denial terhadap kematian suami dan iparnya. Bener-bener egois. Pov Katherine, sebenernya aku berharap lebih dari gadis ini. Tapi povnya paling dangkal, lemah dan mengecewakan.
Aku baca seri ini tidak berurutan tapi so far itu ga bikin bingung. Penulis pandai menutupi cerita sehingga tiap buku bisa dibaca sebagai standalone.
