With that said, I did enjoy the story and the fun thought experiment of imagining the United States as a monarchy. I’ll read the rest of the series happily.

I was anticipating a Red White & Royal Blue meets The Selection but instead it was boring and it lagged sooo much.
It was also very frustrating how NONE of the plot points tied up at the end and I def don’t want to read the sequel.
Just all around such an unsatisfying read.

However there was so much more potential to explore how having a monarchy affected American history rather than a wink wink nudge nudge things like the Louisiana purchase still happened
