hannalujuah 's review for:
Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
As someone who is shamelessly obsessed with the royal family and regency romances, this book was overall great fun to read.
While I admittedly came here for romance, I did find myself getting a little annoyed by the romantic twist to the relationship between Victoria and Lord Melbourne, her super old prime minister who was obsessed with her and kept comparing her to his dead wife, and was disappointed that the love interest I was REALLY there for (Prince Albert) only showed up when the book was 85% through. As a result, I was a bit miffed that we only got 60ish pages out of 400 dedicated to one of the greatest romances in the history of the monarchy.
However, this book still gets 4 stars because it completely sucked me in.
A rebellious teenager coming of age, crown jewels, political intrigue, scandals, and grand balls where demure conversation during the waltz leads to love? Yes please.
