Queen Charlotte

You have to watch the show before reading the book. I absolutely adore the written adaptation! The writing style is different and script-like but if you love the show, this won't both you!

I love this series, I think the collaboration with Shonda Rhimes was done so well, the book characters stay very true to the tv characters. This is such a lovely audiobook, props to the narrator!!

The book was fairly parallel to the tv show about 40% of the way through. After that, you see the book split off in its own way providing more detail and scenes we do not get in the tv show.

The book progresses events in chronological order, while the tv show jump cuts to different points in time. The book reveals what King George is thinking about as he's dealing with his secret while married to Queen Charlotte very early on!

What I love about the book are the extra pieces of dialogue, King George's inner dialogue and thoughts, sexual intimacy between the couple, the couple's perspective and support of Brimsley and Reynolds.

I just adore this book and the additional lore we did not get to see on screen.

You'll probably love it too ☺️
