challenging
informative
sad
tense
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
No
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
N/A
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
Towards the end I admit it did feel like a slog and I was reading it to get to the end rather than because I was enjoying it.
That said, as a piece of historical fiction that relies heavily on real documents and research I thought this was fantastic. Having read/seen the other Boleyn girl and wolf hall I’d never considered the situation from Katherine of Aragon’s perspective and I found myself in awe of her resolve!
I’m intrigued to read the rest of the books in the series and others written by Alison Weir!
