Dearest Loyal Readers

It is with no small amount of pleasure, dear reader, that your longtime correspondent on these matters can report that a new debut has somehow defied all expectations. The rumors are true: Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is, in fact, a rare gem among the prequel set … no one could be more taken aback than I to discover that Queen Charlotte is not just superficially delightful, but indeed, notably attentive to the logic of its narrative world. It is, one nearly quails to suggest, quite thoughtful about its position as the wellspring of this imaginative yarn. So far from empty nothingness, Queen Charlotte makes an effort to embrace precisely those qualities its fatuous forebears so fervently sought to avoid. — Kathryn VanArendonk “Queen Charlotte Is Bridgerton’s Diamond of the Season”
