Some really good historical detail, just a little slow
By Tracey Madeley
Do we read historical novels to learn about history as a substitute for more academic books on the subject? Philippa Gregory has undoubtedly chosen an interesting period of British history and telling the story from a woman’s point of view, rather than the king, makes it more interesting and unusual. There is a movement from third person narrative to first person, as we see what the Princess was thinking and feeling. There is also well placed historical detail, such as the litter to carry her to Ludlow, the fact that she would have been cold and not used to British weather. The magnificence of the Alhambra Palace, the devotion of her mother Queen Isabella and how she may have been mis-guided in her prejudices, in relation to the learning of the Moors.However, are we just looking for information from our historical novels rather than good writing? As an author she has obviously done her research, but like her general fiction, I found her style repetitive. I understand Catalina wishing to reinforce her position as Princess of Wales and ultimately Queen. The repetition stresses her pride and determination, but it also makes the novel long winded and drag a little.There is a period where she is kept in limbo after the death of Arthur before she marries Henry where nothing much happens. I understand she endures hardship in this period, but again there is this constant reassertion of her rights.The novel covers the death of their first baby and the conquering of the Scots and then it ends. The sequel then appears to jump straight to the dissolution of the marriage and Anne Boleyn. Mary is mentioned as her daughter, but it does not refer to any other part, of what is a long marriage. How did Henry change, if at all? What part did his advisers play in the marriage? Henry was probably quite a devout man, what changed? How did his attitude to her change over the years? It would have been nice to have seen more of a progression through this novel and this would have helped with the pace.I have so much in common with this author I really wanted to like the historical fiction, but I was disappointed. She is undoubtedly a great academic, but the fiction could be better.

Good read but a little protracted
By ACJ67
The beginning of this book was one of the best by Gregory and it had me enthralled. Unfortunately as the book continued the level of detail about such short spaces of time became irritating. The ending felt like Gregory herself had got bored with writing the book.

the first 40-45% of the book I found really boring, almost gave up and finished reading
By njudit
The start was very slow, the first 40-45% of the book I found really boring, almost gave up and finished reading. Then it became more and more interesting however the end was too "fast" - felt like the book ended in the middle of an exciting event, like the writer got tired and didn't finish properly. Will definitely read book 2 though.
