I watched the Netflix show before reading the book, I'd recommend that order if you're planning on watching/reading Queen Charlotte. I loved getting to see more from these characters, I was genuinely tearing up at parts. You get an up close view of how each character confronts their inclinations toward love and duty and heartbreak and perseverance.

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.

I was lucky enough to get to listen to this audiobook from my library. I have yet to watch Queen Charlotte (I know), but decided to read the book anyway. I found this to be a nice cozy read. Quinn and Rhimes do an excellent job of shifting the narrative between characters without getting too weighed down in any one perspective. Brimsley and Lady Danbury were my favourite characters because they had the most intrigue throughout the story. However, I found Charlotte the most endearing and likable character and when she was not the central focus I often found myself wondering when she would come back because I felt her personal development was beautifully written. If you are a fan of the Netflix series or the Bridgerton universe I would recommend this read.

I do still like the show more, mostly because it also interwove scenes from the Brigerton era we know from the original show, but this was a lot of fun! I love George and Charlotte just as much in print, and I think they did a great job of translating their character into book characters. The chapters were short, and the pace was fast, so I feel like I flew through it. I don't really have any complaints about the book really, it just wasn't like mind blowingly amazing, but still good 🤷‍♀️
