I enjoyed Elisabeth's story, especially once she and the Emperor were introduced. However, I feel that the story cut off just as it was getting to the good part, ending it with a rather rushed epilogue. The diary portion of the book should have been longer to go into detail about how her marriage to the Emperor began to deteriorate and how her mother-in-law tried her best to remain in power.
