Three out of Five Stars
I've been spoiled by Sharon Kay Penman and Phillipa Gregory. While this book was a very quick read, and interesting, it felt far less genuine and not nearly as well written as books by other authors I mentioned. At the end of the book, Erickson states this is her interpretation, but I wish she'd put that at the BEGINNING of the book.
I have also watched "The Tudors" which of course just glamorized the heck out of things (such as, Henry VIII never got fat). I've read a lot of fiction AND nonfiction about this era, so while I was enjoying the book, I kept thinking, "that's not right".
I'm not sure I'd recommend this book since there are so many other books that are better.
