Query: Annoyingly written and repetitive

I'm halfway through this book and I'm not thrilled with it, but it's entertaining enough to finish, despite the fact that the characters are wooden and one-dimensional, and the writing is boring. As others have said, Gregory often repeats certain points to death. Every other page, it seems, Catalina is reminding herself and everyone else that she is the Infanta of Spain/Princess of Wales/Queen to be/daughter of Isabella and that everything is God's will. I find myself skimming a lot of these passages because they're so repetetive and don't further the story at all. The author also has an annoying habit of using "D'you" in her dialog, which doesn't fit with the formal style of the rest of her writing, and using "especial" instead of special. She doesn't use any other "Spanish-isms", so her use of "especial" seems gratuitous.I bought "The Other Boelyn Girl" at the same time, and I hope that it's better than this book.
