I just think it's interesting that the author chose to age Mary down to be a twelve year old bride and fourteen year old mistress when, historically, she was in her 20s when this stuff went down. Kinda weird, Philippa.
Anyway. I love Tudor history, and, by extension, Tudor historical fiction, so this was my jam. Managed to be gripping even though I knew how it ended, so I have to give props for that. But the older I get, the angrier I get at how badly everyone treated each other. Just wild.
