I’ve had a hard time lately getting into historical fiction (although it’s my most-read genre!) so I thought I was going to have to drag myself through this.

But.

I was honestly hooked from the first page. Which made me so stinkin excited.

History and mystery mixed together in The Stolen Queen in the best possible way. I enjoyed so many aspects of this! I really appreciated how Annie and Charlottes stories were woven together. Separate but enough entwined that it didn’t feel like I was jumping into different books. Paired with the time hops, it could have felt messy. But Fiona Davis did it in such a smooth way! Highly recommend!

Thank you to NetGalley for the ARC

Twists and turns and a look behind the scenes at the Met - glamorous and mundane. I thought I could read this chapter by chapter over a few days but found myself staying up until midnight to finish it (Once I got to a certain point I HAD TO KNOW!) Charlotte and Annie's lives are so relatable though far from my day to day life and world.
