Reviews
Julia Gelardi immerses her readers into the beautiful world of royalty.
Julia P Gelardi is quickly becoming one of my favorite authors. I really like the way she weaves the life stories of monarchs together.
I really enjoyed this book and find Gelardi's narrative style to be very pleasant.
Gelardi did what I'd wished someone would do by weaving together the related stories of royal women throughout the years, and she did so with great success.
Lovely read. I like Julia Gelardi, her books are informative without being heavy or too dry.
Gelardi was able to give an in depth look at each woman's trials and tribulations, weaving together throughout the book multiple countries, kings, queens, and wars while still retaining respect and precision for the individuality and uniqueness of each woman.
