Julia Quinn's Queen Charlotte is a revelation within the Bridgerton series. This prequel, enhanced by the Shondaland touch, offers a fresh and captivating perspective on the story of the Queen. The inclusion of race, social class, and LGBTQ themes adds a layer of depth and relevance that sets it apart from its predecessors. While it may closely follow the television adaptation, the written word still manages to evoke powerful emotions and leave a lasting impression. The story's exploration of love, loss, and the complexities of power is both poignant and thought-provoking. A must-read for fans of historical fiction and the Bridgerton universe.
