A review by emmabubx
Undercover Princess by Connie Glynn
2.0
I received a copy of this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
This book took me two tries to get through, when I first started the book didn’t grab me, but as I recieved a free copy of the book I stuck with it, gave it some time and went back to it and I’m glad I did, I only because it was a quick and easy read.
The character of Lottie bored me at first, I understand that as a bursary student to Rosewood she had to make sure she stick with the rules and make sure she did well at school, but when the actual undercover part of Undercover Princess came into play it was more interesting.
The characters could have been a lot more fleshed out, the Binah riddles just didn’t seem to fit in with the story, they didn’t add much except a side plot. The friendship between Lottie and Ellie seemed to quick for me, also their actual interactions confused me slightly, they seemed almost to be a couple at some points. Also Jamie, in the actual storyline Jamie arriving was really exciting, but for the reader, it was just kind of... meh... All of the characters need more story behind them, especially Ellie, as she is such an integral part of the story, with her reputation being mentioned several times but not much information was given as to why she had this reputation.
I’ll give the second book a try when it is released, if only just to see if the characters get more interesting.
