The Boleyn Inheritance (The Tudors, #3)
by Philippa Gregory (Goodreads Author)
by Philippa Gregory (Goodreads Author)
I must admit, I was not so determined to read this book - I hated Jane Boleyn with a fiery passion and therefore did not really care for her thoughts and views, and I loved Mary Boleyn as a narrator in 'The Other Boleyn Girl'. I'm so glad I read this though. The Boleyn Inheritance is just as fascinating as its predecessor; I could not put it down, wanting to know what would happen next even though I already knew what the outcome would be. I thought I would be irritated by the switching of characters - I wasn't. The change of POVs flowed into one another quite effortlessly and the repeating of events was never dull as each character was so vitally different. I almost felt sympathy for Jane at one point, her guilt over her beloved George would have been quite heartbreaking if I didn't keep reminding myself of everything she had committed.
Although not as brilliant as The Other Boleyn Girl, I would recommend this as much as the former. Definitely.
