Katherine of Aragon The True Queen by Alison Weir

Rating: 3/5

Summary: This book follows Katherine of Aragon from her time arriving in England all to her death. It gives an insight into what she could have been feeling and thinking throughout her marriage to King Henry VIII.

Review: This book was an interesting one to read. I enjoyed it and definitely learned a lot from it. Historical fiction isn’t really a genre that I am much into. However, this book was enjoyable. It did read slow for me in some parts and I definitely found myself wanting to skip ahead in some points. However, I otherwise enjoyed it and liked following Katherine throughout the story. I felt many emotions throughout the book and was definitely holding back tears near the end of the book.

There are so many things I learned that I hadn't known before. It was great to learn those things. I constantly found myself looking up some of the things to learn more about them. If you are interested in learning more about Henry’s first wife, this is the book for you.
