I'm glad I finally read this one :) I've owned it for a while, and have been meaning to read it. I thought it was actually a compilation of three littler books, but to find out it was it's own whole story is awesome :D And rather educational too, about Henry VIII's six wives: Catherine of Aragon, Katherine Howard, Katherine Parr, Jane Seymour, Anne of Cleves and Anne Boleyn. So many Katherine's and Anne's! I would be incredibly scared if I was one of Henry's wives, and if any I'd prefer to be Catherine, his first. I can't believe he would kill 4 of them, and then claim to have loved them, while still finding a new wife so soon. I liked the POV, as she wasn't really a lady-in-waiting, more of just a court lady. And I'm so pleased that she and Will got married :) Sad about the miscarriage, but surprising that her friend Kitty had like 4 consecutive children. Also that she was like 14/15 when she got pregnant the first time? That's so crazy, thinking that by my age (18) I would have at least one child. Such a different world we live in.
