I really enjoyed the peaceful and elegant style of the Queen, but I realize that it might become tiring for most of today's readers. The book gets more and more interesting as it progresses. Please don't quit in the middle when it seems that we will never get out of royal social ocassions! Also, there are valuable documents in the appendix. The Queen accuses the traitors of Hawaii only indirectly, hence this book should be treated as an introductory study to the history of that period in Hawaii. One thing - as the book progresses it makes the reader feel more and more sad.
