The Taming of the Queen

Compared to Gregory's other writing this was merely mediocre. Her version of both Henry VIII as a murderous rapist, Katherine as a weak, naive woman, and Thomas Seymour as a dashing romantic hero are confusing, given the actual historical record. The descriptions of life in the Tudor court were, as usual, spot on, making her misses on the characterizations of these individuals even odder.

The book was okay but a bit of a disappointment from one of my favorite authors. Hopefully her new book will be an improvement.
