Victoria
by Daisy Goodwin
3.5
Oh, young Victoria. This book covers 18/19 year old Victoria as she comes into power, acts like a child, stomps "But I'm the QUEEN" and you know, does Queen stuff. I did quite like this for the most part. The beginning started off strong but it got dragged out quite a bit in the middle. Not much happened and it felt like she was trying to stretch this story out perhaps because it was constrained due to the upcoming series on PBS. It did pick back up towards the end though and I'm curious to see where the TV series goes.
I've been curious about Goodwin's books for a while but have always been a bit put off by the lackluster reviews. I'm not sure if I'll be picking up more of her work in the future.
