The grand duchess of nowhere6/11/2023 ![]() ![]() If there's any historical figures present in the story, then the author must conduct research into the characters of these historical persons because historical fiction is just like fanfiction. In order to have a historical fiction novel, the author must research into the time their book is set in. You can't just write a book about Melita and drop her name into it expecting us to appreciate the fact that it is a historical fiction novel because 'oh look, there's the name of a famous historical figure in it!' Laurie Graham needs to know that there is a lot more to do in historical fiction that doing a two second google search into the names of the royal family at the time and inserting poorly developed cardboard cutouts of the characters. This is the same with all the historical figures that are being represented in this shit literature. As a matter of fact, this character has stolen the historical figure's name and is posing as the woman. The main character of this book (Victoria Melita) is disgusting. Her writing style is lacking and the way quality of writing in this book is abysmal. This author doesn't know anything about history or how to conduct the most simple of research into the periods she writes for. Hatred isn't even a strong enough word to describe just how much I loathed this book. ![]()
