Reviews

[Mallory · Rating 5 out of 5]

Over the top decadence to be sure, but the obvious care that went into the design of this grandest of ships makes her short life even more tragic and adds another layer to an endlessly fascinating story. There were photos I hadn't seen before either, which at this point is rare for me!
