It wasn't, and I loved learning about Queen Victoria's life and how her mom and Sir John affected it. I know my review makes it sound like it was a horrible book. I did like how the events matched up with real life events but I feel like they could've been written better. It is like what I mentioned above her character didn't really grow.ģ) The plot didn't really go anywhere, and it didn't seem to resolve, just fizzle out, except in the romantic aspect. I found her character frustrating because she always wanted the best for herself, not her kingdom, and towards the end she still didn't learn selflessness or humbleness. And it made it seem like either the writer or Queen Victoria was very immature.Ģ) I don't believe that the real Queen Victoria was the annoying, moody, whiney and infuriating person that was portrayed in this book. 12 year old Victoria may have sounded like what I talked about above but 21 year old Victoria shouldn't sound the same.

The biggest problem, however was that her voice never changed. The two annoying most used words were excessively and amusing. Even though in Queen Victorias real diary she did a lot of underlining and caps, I can't imagine it sounded like this. <- This is pretty much how the whole book was written. I couldn't BELIEVE how much caps and underlining there was. Let me talk about the reasons why I disliked this book.ġ) The writing was EXCESSIVELY annoying and repetitive. Others might have liked it but it just really didn't agree with me as a reader. It was a pain to even finish and it felt like it had no plot whatsoever. I really wanted to love this book, but I couldn't.
