Katherine of Aragon: The True Queen by Alison Weir

3.0

---

I am a fan of Alison Weir's novels. However, this one did not grab me in the way some of her others have. I don't entirely know why. Perhaps it is because I knew a lot of this story already. Maybe I just wasn't in the right mindset to read this book at this time. I did enjoy the first half of it more than the last. I found the second half to be dry and tedious to read. Also, for historical figures who have a large presence, neither Katherine nor Henry seemed to be very dynamic in this telling. Both just seemed to be there but not much more. I am still interested to read more in this series as this time period is a personal fascination.
