Interesting premise derailed by a glacial pace and an unforgiveable cliffhanger ending; first of a trilogy I won't be pursuing. Good idea, though -- what if Anne Boleyn had eventually given Henry a son who succeeded him. Would the whole history of the Western world be changed, or would the timeline correct itself eventually to put Elizabeth I on the throne?
