Victoria by Daisy Goodwin
3.0


3.5 stars

I was going to give this 4 stars until I read the last 50 pages today. 😂 It was a very enjoyable and easy read about one of my favorite historical figures. That said I did not care for how much ink was spilled over her and Lord Melbourne and how Albert was barely mentioned at all. The book ends with their engagement (hopefully not a spoiler alert since its real history from decades past 😂) but we were barely given time to know him, much less so in a positive way as he was presented quite negatively initially. So the end was not my favorite but it was still an enjoyable read.
