Beginning the story with the queen's childhood would create a slower pacing, allowing readers to deeply engage with her rebellious spirit and the tensions of royal expectations, thereby building anticipation for her eventual coronation. This shift in structure would also foster a stronger emotional connection to her journey, making the final coronation scene not just a celebration of her ascension, but a poignant culmination of her growth and transformation.
