3.0

I was told this was royal love story, totally foundational historical fiction for lovers of Phillips Gregory, Alison Weir, and other authors that impose personality on women who have been largely lost to history. I can definitely see that— and I appreciated the foundation this book gave my understanding of English history. I do think other authors do it better though— this book was slow and Katherine herself unlikeable. I put it down for months at a time.
