Any story concerning any Royal has my immediate vote. Victoria definitely has my vote. I have always been intrigued by stories following the Queen Victoria and this one mainly revolves around a younger Victoria and her time before she was actually Queen. Victoria's older sister, Feodore is about to be married and move away to Germany with her new groom, leaving Victoria with her mother and the awful Sir John, who advises her mother on every subject pertaining to her young daughters. The only pleasantry that Victoria has to look forward to is the company of her governess, Daisy. This book is mostly read like a diary and follows the daily lives of Victoria and those that she interacts with the most.I have read some reviews that did not like the fact that this book was written in diary format from the perspective of Victoria. I have a few things to say to that. First of all, this is Victoria's story and she can tell however she wants to. Secondly, she does interact with others and you always know what is going on around Victoria. This is not solely Victoria's voice. You will hear from many others and conversations are all noted in Victoria's diary. I did not mind this at all because I found it to be very informative. I loved being inside Victoria's mind because of her rebellious tendencies and it was hilarious to read what she really thought about the political system, other Royals, and her own mother.This was truly a beautiful piece of literature that could be enjoyed by young adults or even a younger audience. I am just mesmerized by the amount of research that Carolyn Meyer has put into this novel and how much information she was able to rely through one single story. I loved how she portrayed Victoria's character and made her really relatable for readers.
