Posted: 25 Jun 2021, 11:07
[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "Agatha the Beloved Queen" by Fred Pilcher.]
In the land of Xana, there's an age-long bridge between the aristocrats and the commoners. While the aristocrats get more wealthy, the commoners become poorer. Young Agatha notices this and seeks to change it, but she might be outnumbered by those who benefit significantly from this injustice.
Blessed with the gifts of wisdom, compassion, and perception of character, Agatha might just be the needed force to restructure the kingdom of Xana. Her desire to bring a positive change to Xana isn't without challenges. Follow Agatha as she wades through difficult situations to save her beloved kingdom from those who seek to benefit from its decadence.
Agatha the Beloved Queen by Fred Pilcher was a fantastic book. It had a great storyline. If I didn't already know that it was fictional, I would have thought it was non-fictional. The book had a realistic plot, and every activity was similar to the medieval way of life, which was the setting of the story. From the descriptions given of trade agreements, council meetings, and sources of livelihood, I was taken back in time to the days of horses and carts.
I was intrigued by the author's writing style. I was drawn to the book from its introduction. The author introduced the story as one he had picked up while on a journey, which pricked my curiosity. I instantly wanted to know what it was about the story that warranted that kind of introduction. I wasn't disappointed, as it was a great read, and I found the book as one I couldn't drop once I started reading.
I found the author's commentaries helpful. They helped me understand the story holistically and gave me an in-depth insight into the culture of the Xana people. Take, for instance, their views on nudity. From the commentaries, I understood that the people of Xana weren't opposed to showing off their bodies. This helped me make sense of some of the sexually provoking aspects of the book.
From Agatha's story, I gained some life lessons. I was reminded that everyone in life was important, irrespective of their social status. I also gained leadership skills from the story. A leader should be both compassionate and firm. Take, for instance, Agatha's handling of Howell. Even though her action towards Howell was not typical, she had to do it for the greater good.
Agatha the Beloved Queen was a story I thoroughly enjoyed. I had no issues with it, as it was excellently written and exceptionally well edited. Therefore, I would rate it 4 out of 4 stars. I would recommend Agatha the Beloved Queen to lovers of fantasy books. Also, lovers of medieval stories would have a swell time reading the book. This book should strictly be read by adults, as it contained some sexual scenes.
