Now, this one I really liked.

Elsa is still annoying sometimes, and the amount of delulu it takes to read her POV is astounding, but I still liked it.

The writing is not the best and the grammatical erros are sometimes distracting, but I still liked it.

The romance was truly romancing, the smut was smutting and the plot was plotting, so I'm good.

Plus the father-daugher interactions always make me fold and I loved seeing Elsa enjoy her father. I wish we'd seen more of that with her uncle too, though.

I am also very hooked on whatever the hell is going on with Xander and Kim, so I'm gonna rush through the next one. I do think these kinds of books are better as standalones per couple (which is probably why I had a harder time with this one playing across a whole trilogy), so I'm eager to see the stories of our other characters unfold.

Aiden and Elsa's story had me loudly screaming/gasping, tears were shed, and I got butterflies gushing about them. 

So far, their story is my holy grail. But things can change since this is only number 2 in the Rinaverse.

I finally got to wrap up Elsa and Aiden's story; these two have been through so much. This trilogy was one of my favorite stories in this universe, even though things initially got off to a rocky start. Now, things got tedious from time to time between them since it was like every time things started to go right, they would crash and burn. But by the end of this book, we had everything wrapped up, they were living happily ever after, and we finally got our first baby! She's pregnant with Eli, and I love it so much. I hope we see when she gets Creighton, but I wonder if that makes it into that series.

2.5 out of 5 ☆’s.

Note: I’m not sure if I enjoyed “Twisted Kingdom” more than its predecessor ”Steel Princess” just because I took a break in between those two books (and therefore cannot remember my exact feelings on the beginning of the series) or if I really just found ”Twisted Kingdom” to be more enjoyable?

ੈ✩‧₊˚

While I am glad that Aiden and Elsa have finally received their long-awaited HEA — I ultimately do not think that they needed three books to do so…

Going into the series I was most excited for Aiden & Elsa’s novels — because they were the pairing that I thought that I would enjoy the most — but giving them three books where they just ended up repeating their words and their actions became frustrating and monotonous to read.

I’m also not a fan of far fetched (OTT) plots in contemporary novels — so that is also something that impacted my personal enjoyment of their trilogy — but I know that there are others that enjoy those kinds of things (so it all comes down to personal preference)! :)
