However, on the whole, I still found this book intriguing, captivating, and tense at times. I love reading about behind-the-scenes political machinations and strategy, and I've always been a fan of the Tudor period. The writing was excellent, though a few times too many on the ambiguous side, at least for me.
This is one of those books that was a real challenge but I welcomed it and I look forward to revisiting Bring Up The Bodies.
