Helpful Score: 1

When I read this book this first time, I loved it. It sparked an interest in English history and in the Tudor reign. I devoured historical books about the period. I went back to reread TOBG, excited with my newfound knowledge and was sorely disappointment. I realize that it is historical fiction not a non-fiction account but Gregory takes major dramatic license with the events both leading up to the novel and within it. The glaring inconsistencies were too much for me to ignore on a second read around.
