A little review on this duology.

Spilling the beans on this book I have heard a lot about

I have been reading a lot in this genre lately, and I had some... loud opinions about this one.

Talking about this historical fiction that has been on my TBR for YEARS

I figured it was about time I tried to explain this to myself, and therefore you all will get to see my process of basically discovering I have no system and there's no rhyme or reason to the way I rate books and it is incredibly inconsistent across the board.

I loooooved this book! I think it touches on so many important topics and really makes you think about the ethics involved in writing and developing ideas for art.

This is a book I thought I'd love because I love the story of Queen Victoria, but I started this book and then it sat untouched for MONTHS while I read other books and I am pretty sure it was the instigator of my reading slump mid 2024... but anyway I finally did get around to finishing it and these are my thoughts.

Where I have been to on my reading journey so far and what the next little bit has in store for me.

Finalllly getting to review my first completion of 2025! I had heard a lot about this book, so I was excited to dive in and see what my thoughts were!

Decided it was time to jump back into a thriller/mystery because it had felt like a while.
