First off, I have to admit that I am not a big fan of reading books that I have no particular interest in. So far, I am intrigued slightly by the book and plan to continue reading. We were asked to read the first four chapters. I have started reading but not made through all four chapters yet.
I found it interesting that the King has offered her the position of Maitresse en Titre, Anne had rejected the King because she was saving herself for he future husband. Anne had another love in her life, Lord Henry Percy but that future never happened because of the Cardinal Wolsey. Anne knew she was worthy of marriage and being a mistress was not good enough for her. Henry finally arrived in the garden catching Anne talking to herself, this was found funny to the King(pg33). Upon first sight of the King Anne found him magnificent in all of his grandeur. Henry talked of his current marriage to Katherine that he had taken his brothers wife. This was a tainted marriage and he couldn't stay in it (pg 34). During this conversation Henry professed his love of Anne and that he wanted her to become his queen (pg 35). This was to remain a secret until his advisors could come up with the best plan for this to work.
Continue to read this book as time let's you because it does get interesting. There's been time I want to put the book down but it continues to grab my attention. The king is a character in the chapters ahead and you find out that Anne has more kuhunas than some men lol.
