Absolutely enjoyable. There's so much I didn't know about Katherine of Aragorn. Vivid descriptions of Granada and the Alahambra. It's been a while since I actually wanted to travel somewhere instantly just to see it, and this book's done it! Katherine's life was a difficult one, but she managed to f...

Absolutely compelling to see what Katherine/Cataline went through in her life. Philippa Gregory has a very unique writing style and can weave together a great story while still remaining somewhat faithful to the original histories. But boy was Katherine annoying. No wonder Arthur died just to get ...

This book was actually more substantial than I was expecting. I found the characters to be well rounded, and all of the main characters had some good character development throughout the course of the novel. The novel covered a large span of time, but it didn't feel rushed or unbelieveable, as the...

In the Soap Opera of the life of Henry the VIII, I must admit, this isn't my favorite episode. It was still entertaining although it did drag in places. I would recommend it to people interested in all things Tudor :)

For being about such a complicated and intricate time and place, this book felt thin and restricted in terms of characters, plot development, and world. I realize the intention was to provide an intimate perspective, but it didn't work for me.

2.5 starsThose of you familiar with all things Tudor already know the basics of the long-suffering Katherine of Aragon and the husband who dumped her when she couldn't produce a male heir. Those who aren't might consider this review rather spoilerish so consider yourself warned. That said, since the...

Very good book. It was a different view on Katherine of Aragon from within the pages of The Other Boleyn Girl. In The Other Boleyn Girl, Katherine appears submissive, weak, and almost accepting of her fate. In The Constant Princess, Katherine is a force to be reckoned with. She fought tooth and nail...

Interesting book and I liked it, even if it's a bit outside of my usual reading fare. While generally I enjoy historical fiction, I prefer it to actually have a lot of history in it. Constant Princess is, of course, based upon real people, but it seems most of it is speculative and good guesses. The...
