My problem with Gregory's books is more that she picks one character to be the Great Shining Perfect Hero and everyone else is either on their side (therefore good) or EVIL SO EVIL and also JEALOUS. It's total Mary Sue stuff pasted on to some history. I can deal with a bit of history splinching, but the total recasting of everyone and everything in the Perfect Hero's drama is deeply annoying and not a good narrative.

Yup. I watched The White Queen and ended up really disliking Elizabeth Woodville, which I'm pretty sure was the opposite of what Gregory intended.

This is my problem with her writing... the characters are very much lacking in nuance and complexity. The Other Boleyn Girl was a prime example where Mary is practically a saint and Anne is a manipulative bitch-sorceress or something.
