”You don't have to be ashamed of who you are with me, Elsa. You can be a fucking lunatic, and I still won't let you go.”

*Sigh* I’m not sure where to begin with this one…

I had high hopes for ”Steel Princess” when I started the novel — it seemed as though it was going to be different from its predecessor & that some necessary character growth would happen at some point in the story — but it seems as though my faith was misplaced.

The main issue that I had with ”Steel Princess” was that it felt unnecessary. It seemed as though there was no character growth and minimal plot progression at best. The story mostly consisted of Elsa stating that she was going take a stance against Aiden and then immediately giving into him and sleeping with him a couple of pages later (I can understand characters changing their minds a couple of times throughout the story — but changing it every couple of pages becomes frustrating).

I will probably come back to this series at some point in the future because I am curious as to what happens plot-wise — but at this point in time it’s not a favorite of mine.
