This will be the last time I will read a Gregory. The book wasn't very immersive as the characters just felt too modern and didn't feel believable as Tudor characters.

Katherine Parr, 'Kateryn', was a character that read like one of Gregory's younger heroines - a teenager - not a scholarly woman in her early thirties. It does covered Parr's theological pursuits but lacked any depth. The only historical figure she got right was Henry VIII and his madness. Even then, Gregory liked to focus more on how fat and disgusting he was. Constantly reminding us of this throughout the book.

A lot of the plot was focused on Katherine pining for Thomas Seymour (which she always referred to him by his full name). It was very boring and repetitive.
