Rating: 9/10
Favorite Character: Abigail Hill
Centering around the story of Queen Anne of England from the house of Stuart and her favorites, this story, despite being based on real historical events, is full of intrigue and concentrates on the relationships between the characters. Originally Queen Anne is very strongly influenced by her friend Sarah, the Duchess of Marlborough. Sarah is loud, boisterous, domineering, and opinionated. However, Sarah becomes careless and her ambition alongside her arrogance soon becomes her ruin, as she is unexpectedly replaced by a poor cousin of hers, Abigail Hill. This book details the court politics in England during Queen Anne’s time, and how her favorites influenced the government. I found this book fascinating, and so full of tension that I just couldn’t put it down.
