The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory
4.0

Every time I read a book set in Henry VIII’s Court I despise him a little bit more; a tyrant, a paedophile (I know things were different back then but factually true considering Katherine Howard’s age), a megalomaniac, an absolute grade A arsehole. I liked the book, I thought the alternating chapters really worked and accelerated the story. I felt sorry for Anne of Cleves in particular. Anyway I’ll stop here because the whole thing makes me angry. Anyone who can sentence someone to be burned alive is evil, I don’t care which imaginary friend told you it was right.
