In the Shadow of a Queen by Heather B. Moore // Review

My Review: 

A wonderful historical read that brings the life of Queen Victoria's 6th child, Princess Louise to life. 

An engaging and engrossing read that brings Queen Victoria's court to life. I'll admit that I didn't know much about Princess Louise before reading this book, and it was fun to learn about her passion for women's rights, art, and a life of service. I liked how the author showed the things going on in the background, and how they impacted Louise, like how Albert's death affected Victoria and her desire to keep her children closer. 

Overall, a well written read, I liked how it followed her young life through her courtship and beyond. The author does a great job of staying true to the facts, while filling in the dialog and bringing the people to life. A well done historical, that shines light on a royal not commonly talked about in the modern day. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.
