alyshadeshae 's review for:

The Boleyn Inheritance by Philippa Gregory
4.0

My full review is here on my personal website. I'll post a few excerpts here, though:

4.0 out of 5.0 stars

The very worst thing about this book is the bouncing narrative. We switch from one woman to the other constantly and it gets confusing. Especially when the characters begin to interact with each other more. You have to take a step back and remember who the narrator is at times.

The very best thing about this book is Anne of Cleves. I really like the way her character is portrayed. Other than Katherine of Aragorn, it seems like she’s the first character to be a decent human being who isn’t obsessed with intrigue and whatnot.
