As well as the other trigger warning I listed this book has racist themes, it’s a part of the plot and how the story moves! Just in case that’s not something you want to readreka111's review against another edition

I will stand with you between the heavens and the earth, do you love me?
Honestly, I have mixed feelings about this book. I went into it knowing that I had already seen the series and knew the history, so there were no surprises, but even then, something caught my eye and didn't let me go until the end.
Charlotte was obviously my favorite character, i loved her for being so independent, understanding and helpful, a great queen and George was simply the luckiest man in the world to have her. Their relationship has evolved so much over time that it's incredible, I loved that they both had reservations about it, but they both tried to make the best of it — even in real life.
The plot was understandable and easy to read, the pace was good and the time jumps don't bother me. Basically, i liked it, alone as i said the ending was just fast.

It doesn't have the bridgerton era storyline but outside that it's largely the same.
It was fun to read but I had already watched the series and there was very little added by the novelisation. It was nice to be in the world again.

A few notes:
- The beginning of the book makes a big deal about Charlotte's favorite name being the nickname Lottie, but this is never brought up again.
- I wish we got to see a bit more of them figuring out how to live together and be happy with one another. This is always my favorite part of arranged/forced marriage romances.
- I don't know how I feel about the ending. I think my opinion would be contingent upon the illness George is supposed to have in this historical fiction account.
