LibraryCin | Mar 1, 2024 |   Light reading I fell into because of watching The Crown and then wanting to watch the PBS series about Queen Victoria. I have no idea how legit the info is in the book but I don’t know anything at all about English history so to me this might as well be a random romance novel. (  ) hmonkeyreads | Jan 25, 2024 |  ) LisaBergin | Apr 12, 2023 | Victoria takes the throne as an 18 year old, and her first challenge is contending with her Duchess mother's boyfriend's power grabbing ways. She finds a confident in her adviser, Lord Melbourne, and her reliance on him grows as she deals with the challenges of being such a young, petite ruler. The question of her marriage is, as you might expect, a huge deal and a large focus of the book. I'm not normally a person who reads romance, but I really did enjoy the sweet way Goodwin portrays Victoria's coming of age, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this one to people looking for a light, very enjoyable historical fiction read. I believe it is going to be made into a mini series too, so that should make it extra fun! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is that it isn't very literary nor original, and I save my fifth stars for something that makes a book out of the ordinary. Something that makes me go "wow". This book didn't have that, but it was completely enjoyable. ( ) Anita_Pomerantz | Mar 23, 2023 | Get the delicious voice of Rufus Sewell in your head (surely I'm not the only one thinking this, right?). Then, after two or three episodes, dig into this novelization, which can now probably be found at most libraries. This book follows the PBS series extremely closely, and indeed was written at the same time the show was being put together. I don't know that I would have enjoyed it quite so much without the visuals and the voices being fresh in my mind from the TV show. It's straightforward, easy reading, but not particularly thought-provoking. The book doesn't have the downstairs storylines that the show does (the servant characters are mentioned and have a little dialogue, but you don't get their back stories). Instead, as the title suggests, this book is centered squarely on the young queen. ( ) Alishadt | Feb 25, 2023 | sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica

I listened to the audio and thought this was very good. In the past few years, I’ve read some about Victoria, so I don’t think anything in this book came as a surprise, but it was interesting and I feel like the author’s writing style is easy to “read” (or, in my case, listen to!). (
