Anyways, The Taming of the Queen is about being haunted and The Other Boleyn Girl is about fucked up familes. I would have little to no objections to the books because these two themes were portrayed out very well and very appealing to me. The problem comes with the whole historical fiction, which is dubiously annoying (Catherine Parr) to deeply teeth-gnashingly essay-long frustrating (Mary Boleyn). Another issue I have is when people (the author) don’t seem to understand why these two themes are so important in favor of other shit; glaring historical innaccuracies, exaggarated pedophilia, victim blaming, gratuitous sex, etc etc.
