Mary Boleyn: The Mistress of Kings by Alison Weir

3.0

I have read books by Alison Weir in the past and really enjoyed them. This book is just as good in terms of writing ability. But, given the lack of information about Mary Boleyn, I really don't see why it was written at all. The vast majority of the book is actually about the people who were in Mary's life, rather than about Mary herself.

I think that this book could have been condensed and been added as an appendix to, say, a reissue of The Lady in the Tower. But, if you love the Tudors and want to learn more about Mary's husbands, children, the French king, etc than it is worth a read.
