Becoming Marie Antoinette by Juliet Grey

informative reflective slow-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I was exited to read this book and find out more about Marie Antoinette, but I found it to be a little slow for me. I should have done more research, but thought her entire life was summarized into the one book, instead of a trilogy. I also would have loved to go more in depth into the important events of her life and have seen more of the friendship/romance between Louis and Marie, even if it's more fiction than fact. There wasnt really enough focus for it to be categorized as a 'Romance' book in my opinion. Instead, I found we go a lot of trivial information about what she wore or simple/short conversations that she may have had. I don't know if I'll be picking up the other books in the series.
