I read the first part of the story as a physical book and then just had to get the audiobook when I found out Brittany Pressley was narrating. Plus I was really hoping for more insights into how American history had changed by having a monarchy, but we only got a few snippets here and there. While the first book had some heavy moments, this one felt even more weighty. By comparison, I felt like the first book was more entertaining, and this book was more emotionally complex. I didn’t always love every character or their actions, but they were all brought to life wonderfully and I found myself wanting to get to know each of them even more.ĭid I love it as much as the first book? Not quite, but it was a high bar. This series is all about family drama, growing up in the spotlight, and trying to find out who you are and what you stand for despite it all. My guess is that he’ll have his own book soon enough-I’m crossing my fingers. Prince Jefferson is also in this book although I didn’t feel he was as much a feature as he was in the first book. Nina Gonzalez and Daphne Deighton also still play crucial supporting roles in this book as their aspirations to get away from the royal family, and marry into it (respectively) never seem to go quite as planned. In this installment of American Royals, Beatrice is now the queen, and Princess Samantha has been upgraded from ‘the spare’ to ‘the heir’ and is struggling to find her new place and identity. They went a totally different direction and I was mad about it for a hot minute before it all started to come together and I realized it was the only possible outcome, and that all of the characters had to grow into themselves in the particular way the author shaped them.
I loved the first book so much and I can’t deny I had hopes for how things would end up in this book. I had so many feelings while reading Majesty by Katharine McGee, the second in the American Royals young adult series. Steam Rating: 🍆 /5 (maybe half an eggplant)
