Thank you for this great review! Agatha is the new Queen of Xana, and I am delighted to hear she will become a firm and just leader. She puts her people above everything else, helping the poor and empowering her nation.

From a sampling, this seems like an interesting fantasy novel about a young royal who wants to eliminate the corruption and wealth gap in the kingdom of Xana. However, those that oppose that desire are numerous. Will she succeed? It might be worth a second look. Well done.

I was thoroughly captivated by "Agatha the Beloved Queen" by Fred Pilcher. The book's realistic plot and medieval setting transported me back in time, immersing me in the world of Xana. The author's intriguing writing style and engaging introduction hooked me from the start, and I couldn't put the book down. Congratulations on the BOTD.

This books has lots of life lessons for both young and old. What I find interesting in this book was that, Agatha being a lady didn't stop her from achieving her goals. Though it's a fiction book but there are lots of benefits this book gives.
Finally, children should not be allowed to read this book because of it's nudity.

I love fantasy! And I love worlds where horses and carts exist! I can see my self enjoying this book thoroughly with a cup of tea. I love the story line involving Agatha and Howell. I like that despite Agatha being compassionate she is decisive too. Great review!

Agatha sounds like an awesome character. She is one of the few who sees the need to bridge the gap between the haves and the have nots.

Some readers like myself would want to ask this question or know who a commoner is and who aristocrat is?, I for one will understand a commoner to be a citizen unless the author has different understanding to who a commoner is. However if my understanding is right then the citizenry has alot to do together with Young Agatha to change situation in the Kingdom of Xana. Very educative novel with great leadership lessons one can pick from. Great review.

Dear reviewer, your choice of words is fascinating. Women like Agatha are in high demand; wise and compassionate breed who will not be deterred and will not leave the world the way they met it. Fred Pilcher got this relatable story right on that trip. Congratulations on BOTD.

I’m curious to see how she goes about fixing the injustice of her kingdom. Sounds eerily similar to problems of our modern world…
Thanks for the review!

The book has a realistic plot, and every activity was similar to the medieval way of life, which was the setting of the story. Congratulations BOTD!

Thanks for the great review. I usually do not gravitate toward period pieces, either in books or movies. However, from your review, this book sounds very interesting, and I think that I might just like this one.

I’m looking forward to digging into this novel to find out if Agatha’s winning character traits will be able to restructure the kingdom of Xana and bring a positive change to Xana amid the difficult challenges. The disparity between the rich and the poor is a nice theme in a book and this one is right up my alley.

Thank you for such an indepth review. I read the sample chapters and couldn't wait to read more. Your review cemented my desire to read more. I have always loved fantasy novels but this one piqued my curiosity due to the strong female protagonist as well as the similarities to today's issues between the rich and the poor and how Agatha tackles them.
