emotional slow-paced

Oof. This was a slog. I received an ARC from NetGalley and it wasn't formatted properly so drop capitals stayed as normal size the line above and chapter breaks didn't start on new pages. Formatting aside, I didn't find myself caring about the characters. The jumping around was too inconsistent and the three stories took forever to intertwine.

Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC. This was definitely my most-disliked books of Alison Weir's that I've read. It was so repetitive. First section before her marriage to Henry was her mother being paranoid. Then when we got to her marriage with Henry we got paranoid-Henry. I swear, we had the same 5 conversations ad naseum until she died at the very end!
lighthearted medium-paced
