Victoria by Daisy Goodwin

3.0

This book is frustratingly a guilty pleasure read. There are multiple flaws to Victoria but I still gobble it up like a juicy peach. And the most frustrating thing is just as it was getting to the good stuff between Albert and Victoria it abruptly ends!! Ugghhh.

I doubt the historial accuracy of this book. So if you are looking to read something more historically acurrate I would not recommend this book. Victoria is more of a romance.

It gets Sooo repetitive for 75% of the book. Victoria is infatuated with Lord M. Lord M is enraptured with Victoria. Rides in the park with Lord M and demanding he be wherever she is. It doesnt get refreshing till Albert and Ernst come to town. I loved the witty banter between Albert and Ernst. Why so much of the Lord M crap?

She is Queen and yet she does nothing but change her hairstyle, ride in the park and obsesss over Lord M surely historically she cared more politically about the country she was ruling she could not possibly be that ignorant and spoiled.

Honestly I think the first two seasons of Victoria were amazing. Victoria is hella more strong and independent.

Ugggh so torn between giving a 3 or 4 star so I give it 3.5 stars.
