3.0

A steady, not-too-wild read like the others in the series.

A note, however:

Author refers to Margaret Pole as "another old friend" of Katherine's—as if she's not the same Countess of Salisbury the author's been talking about the whole book! Henry returned the title to her in 1512, so it's not like this was some new development in 1533.

There was a brief mention of a "Lord Rochester" after the death of Elizabeth Barton, and this guy seems to be both over-the-top and hinted at being George Boleyn.

Now, I don't profess to be a Boleyn expert, but that doesn't sound like one of their titles. Wiki says:

• Baron Rochester wasn't created until 1931
• Viscount Rochester in 1611
• Earl of Rochester in 1652

The year is 1534. Who the hell is Anne et al. talking about?
