so-soI didn't know much about Queen Victoria so I learned something new. When I think of Queens and Kings I think of older people, so it was interesting to read about Victoria taking the crown when she was 18 years old. This book covers the first two years of her reign, including her meeting with Prince Albert, her future husband. I felt like I was reading a history book. The characters did not have enough personality for me to see this as a fun read.
pickWas this prequel to the American Royals series in any way necessary? No, it wasn‘t. But I love being in the world of the Washingtons, so I‘m not mad about it! 😂

so-soThis was okay. About the last son of the Habsburg dynasty, and what a complete ass he was. He unfortunately took his wife and mistress down with him, his mistress much more so. I do think the authors make a good point about people needing a purpose and if these old guards keep gripping tight to everything the new generation flounders. But maybe I am looking too deep given my country's current climate.
Good if you like a rich family drama
Arsinoe, fugitive queen of Fennbirn Island, sits stone faced before the desk, surrounded by crumpled balls of parchment. She has not slept but a few hours, and the light spilling in through the cut-stone window hurts her eyes; it shows the dark hollows beneath them and the gray hue of her face.

The labor, when it began, was hard and full of blood. Nothing less was to be expected from a war queen, especially one so battle-hardened as Queen Philomene.
