It’s Elisabeth or no one.

A wise man once said, “Don’t speak unless you’re asked.” But I’ve never been one to listen to wise men. So here we are again. I didn't like this book. 

I’m not sure where the writing went wrong — whether at the author’s or translator’s hands — but I'm trembling in hope that they're still practicing it. 

Sisi's character seemed annoying to me, I didn't really care what happened to her, even though she was the main character (and that says a lot). On the other hand, I found Helena far more likable. As for the historical accuracy, I wouldn’t call it remarkable either. Overall, not worth the time
