Full Disclosure: I received an ARC of this book from the publisher. Also Victoria is my favorite monarch, which I know is weird because they are real people and not Marvel characters. But she is and I read and liked [book:The American Heiress|9999107]- so I was completely biased when I heard about this book not to mention excited.
This book was well written and well researched and covers the time from Victoria being named Queen to
*** HISTORICAL SPOILER SO NOT REALLY A SPOILER***
right after her engagement.
Victoria the show based on the book is also currently airing. And well if you watch the show, there is not much you will get from the book that is not in the show (as a firm member of the Books are way better than movies' camp it is hard for me to admit this). But none of the info about the staff is included in the book, besides one sentence asides. And the book actually ends before the show does timeline wise (it ends around episode 4 or 5 if I remember correctly).
If you know nothing about Victoria and have not seen the show, you will find this book informative and entertaining. As well as a good look into the mind of a very young monarch. If you wanted more background than the show you will not get it.
