When it comes to historical fiction, I am done for a good story and learning something, even if its fictional, that I might not have known before. Since I really hadn't heard of Marion Crawford before now, that is what I thought this would be.
While I liked that, as the readers, we are getting an inside look into what it was like to work for royalty, it felt a little flat for me. As a work of fiction, there were times where some of the characters felt rather whiny and not endearing in any sort of way.
