I enjoyed the atmosphere and the retelling of history through the eyes of Thomas Cromwell. I did find the use of third person and lack of clarity in who was speaking, confusing (I had to start mentally translating it to "I" so it would make sense)
knowing the real ending of this part of history definitely adds emotional weight to the plot
