The King's Curse
by Philippa Gregory
This book started out very slow. I really wasn't interested in it, and I wondered if I was having a bit of fatigue for this series. Thankfully, that was not the case.
About a 1/4 of the way through the book, it picked right up. The story became very interesting, and I was reading during every free minute I could find. I didn't know much about Margaret Pole prior to reading this series, making this book quite interesting because she lived through so much. Margaret is not at court for most of the book, so it was refreshing to read about King Henry VIII with a little distance and different perspective from other books. The constant craziness of the Tudor family, both father and son, was very well done.
This book is a fitting end to this series, and much stronger than the earlier books. The last 3 books were my favorite, and left me wishing there were more to read. I'm glad I didn't give up on it!
