Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
VICTORIA
Written by Daisy Goodwin
2016; St. Martin's Press (404 Pages)
Genre: fiction, historical, biographical, royalty
RATING: 3 STARS
In 1836, Victoria turns eighteen and becomes the Queen of Great Britain. In Daisy Goodwin's novel we see the young princess become a Queen and try to rule a country. As a woman becomes a ruler we see how the players around her scramble and manipulate to be her right hand "man" or her puppet master. I have always found Queen Victoria fascinating so I was looking forward to this book, but unfortunately I found it slow and I started to lose interest quickly. As I was supposed to read this book for review and a group read I forced myself to finish it. At the time Goodwin was writing this novel she was also at the same time writing the screenplay for the miniseries. I have not heard good things about the show so I am going to skip it for now. I am still interested in Victoria and am looking forward to reading other books on her.
