Very good

I’m a history buff and this book answers a lot of my questions. The personality of Willham was scary. They way they treated his arm was torture.

A Decent Story with An Abrupt Ending.

I found this story interesting, but the end was sudden. it was just like the author met the minimum required amount of words and done! The structure has a Dickensian feel too it.

A Pragmatic Telling Of Vicky’s Life

I found this book to be good, but not particularly riveting. It reads a little bit almost like a historical account of events in sequential order, less so like a novel. I don’t necessarily have anything against it in general, and if you like history, and the history of the British monarchy, as I do, it’s definitely worth the listen to get some context surrounding this time frame in Europe. But if you are looking for more of a compelling literary piece with a clear crescendo and an ending that ties up everything in a neat little bow, this is not quite that. It’s good. It’s seemingly accurate. There are some tender moments. There are some contexts surrounding the early life of Kaiser Wilhelm that make some of his later behaviors seem more understandable, so for those reasons I’m glad I listened to it. Narrator has an excellent German accent when needed and I could clearly distinguish the characters in how she delivered them, so that was also well done.

Well researched. Good historical story.

This was a thoughtful story and I enjoyed it. I think the end was too sudden when there is more to this story. An interesting look at autocratic leaders and how it shaped the current, modern history today.

Light listening. Very light listening

It was just Ok for me. At times it felt like a soap opera. The scope of the story is somewhat narrow and focused on Victoria's marriage, her politics and the drama inside the royal family. There is lots of filler and over it felt too long.

I often judge a book by how often I think about it and the characters once it is finished and if it touches me in some way. I was glad this one was over. I am even surprised I finished it as I got so impatient with the drama and Victoria constant opinionating..
