beetree 's review for:
The Constant Princess
by Philippa Gregory
After reading The Other Boleyn Girl and The Queen's Fool, I must say that I was a little disappointed in this one. While I love Catalina as a character, and the descriptions of the Alhambra was meaningful because I've spent time in Granada, I found her rather one-dimensional.
I found the climax of the book and subsequent jumping ahead to be very jarring and odd, since it completely skips over the birth of the child that she is so focused on having throughout. Moreover, when faced with the greater ambition of Anne Boleyn, all the fight in her that's built throughout just leaves her, which I found to be belittling.
