Edenville by Sam Rebelein

Did not finish book. Stopped at 20%.
The characters are unlikeable and difficult to connect with. They don’t feel like people. They go along with things that are outlandish given our peek into their thoughts. I am just not willing to devote any more time to the book in hopes it will improve.

All around solid and good. Brought up some really interesting things I didn’t know. I like how broad it is.

Not my favorite, but that’s my fault. I should have realized that any book on the British monarchy would have a series of people with the same name and the same title doing much of the same thing. 
I had a hard time keeping straight who was who and who did what. But again, no fault of the writer. It was very well written and made these historical figures seem very relatable. A super enjoyable book, even if all the Georges are now the same person in my mind.
