emmabeckman's review
I'm not gonna give this one a rating.
I liked it overall. I learned a lot about the kings that surrounded Queen Victoria's time. I liked how funny and proper the writing was. I didn't know Edward VII was as progressive as he seems to have been. I was definitely in the camp of people who thought he was just an overly extravagant man who didn't apply himself to being king, but I don't think that's 100% of the story. Definitely a good introductory book and a good book to just get the gist of without reading too closely.
(Also, it took me so long to read because I read the first section, then put it down for 10 days.)
