gosh, so glad I read this thread, I thought it was me! I have adored all of Phillipa Gregory's previous books, particularly this Tudor series, but I really didnt like The Other Queen at all. I persevered with it because I kept believing it would draw me in, but it didnt. I couldnt get to like any of the characters at all. I was glad to finish it, to be honest. But I will read the White Queen and hope it will be so much better.
