weezle 's review for:
The Constant Princess
by Philippa Gregory
If I could rate this book 1/2 a star or none at all, I would. My complaints began when the book deviated from the author's normal writing style to include point of view shifts that were shown by pages upon pages of italics. I might have been able to enjoy this actual story if the formatting had not been so bothersome.
I know that this book was supposed to portray Katherine of Aragon as a young princess, but I was bothered by some of the language she used and just how young she acted.
The glossing over of the 7 years she was the Dowager Princess of Wales, also bothered me.
All in all, I did not find the story compelling and the style choices were odd and jarring. If this is how the rest of the Tudor chronicle is written I will be extremely disappointed, as I enjoyed the Cousin's War series (for the most part).
