The narration is lively and keeps the pace brisk and interesting; however, the sheer amount of detail might become fatiguing to all but the most dedicated followers of British politics.
This detailed and weighty biography will most appeal to those with a grounded interest in British history and rulership. Readers interested in women’s roles in the monarchy will particularly appreciate the attention paid to Queen Mary and her importance in supporting multiple aspects of George’s reign.
Readers who enjoy British history and biographies, royal and otherwise, will enjoy this brilliant biography, as informative as it is absorbing. [See Prepub Alert, 6/10/13.]
