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.

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.
