Majesty by Katharine McGee

4.0

I liked this better than the first book in the series. I thought it was more nuanced, less cliche, and more interesting. The characters seemed more believable and multi-layered. I liked how the book explored the difference between infatuation and love and how to be your full self in every relationship in your life; I found the relationships intriguing, and I rooted for different characters' happy endings. McGee's portrayal of American royalty is exquisitely detailed, and I also appreciated that the book addressed race - the first book had absolutely no mention of race at all, which felt almost disrespectful given America's history - even if it didn't quite go as far as I would have liked it to.

Overall, a fast, escapist, heartwarming read.
