This followup was perfection! I expected some soapy fun a la Gossip Girl, and it certainly delivered that. But it also went in directions I didn't expect and I LOVED the ending for all of the characters. And I would read more in this world if she wants to write it. Just saying... I can't talk too much about this one without spoilers, but I will offer a few thoughts. - Book 1 kind of glossed over the impact that slavery and the colonization of America & treatment of Native people would have on th...

Whhhaaatttt theeeee heeeecccck juuuuust happpeeeneeedd?is that all? No, it can’t! This must be a prank, right? This cannot be the real book! No! No! Noooooooooooooooo! ( a few denying hours later) Yes, my friends, unfortunately this book is real. During my reading, I thought I would find a chapter telling us this was all a bad dream and real story would start up sooner with better conclusion but that chapter never appeared! I wrote an extremely unpopular review to the first book cause I found th...

More reviews up on my blog Inside My Library Mind The Old Switcheroo Imagine reading a first book in a series where you spent the entire book getting attached to the characters and their relationships with each other. Imagine that the focus of the book was the romantic relationships, there are several of them, and they’re all built up over the course of 300 pages. There’s angst, there’s pinning, there’s miscommunication and SO MANY OBSTACLES, but they’re all in love and they have to eventuall...

Oh 2019 Me had such high hopes for this book! 2020 Me feels cheated. This can't be the "closure" ending ending, I didnt get any closure, I feel like she didn't really know where to go with this book. Those 3 stars are me being generous at 2 in the morning...Nov. 11, 2019 - What if she abolishes the monarchy so they can sll get their happy ending? And instates "Democracy"?!

1.5/5 stars. ⭐️⭐️Nothing hurts more than absolutely falling in love with the first book in a series…then having your soul tragically crushed by a disappointing sequel. Folks, I too have been hustled, scammed, bamboozled, hoodwinked, led astray!! *high five if you understand the reference* When I first read American Royals at the beginning of the year, I thought I had found a new favorite series. However, after finishing its lackluster sequel, I now have trust issues. Majesty is the finale novel

If there is not a scene when Nina runs into the chapel during Daphne and Jefferson's wedding and exposes Daphne for the snake she is, I am going to cry.

2.5 stars
It pains me to write this review. Seriously. I was so looking forward to this book. I loved the first book and I was patiently waiting for my library borrow to come in so I could finally get to this book. I love Katherine McGee’s writing and there were some things I liked about this, but overall, I was so disappointed. Mainly in all the romances (except maybe one) and the direction so many of these characters stories took. I don’t want to spoil anything for anyone, so I won’t go into d...

#1) American Royals: ★★★★☆As one of my most anticipated reads of 2020, this was a huge disappointment.The great George IV has died and Beatrice is now the first-ever Queen of America. She is being pressured to marry Teddy so that she looks more mature and can perform her duties. Nina is trying to live her normal life after breaking up with Prince Jefferson. Samantha is trying her best to live her to her position as heir to the throne. Daphne is still the same as before. This is one of the worst

Its been two weeks since i finished this and im still mad at this book, if i write a review then its just gonnna be me complaining hehe....So I finished this and I'm really disappointed. RTCEdit: I honestly want to cry my expectations were so high and nothing went the way I wanted to *sobs*________________________________________________________Update 3, the same day: I HAVE THE BOOK BYE SEE YALL WHEN IM FINISHEDUpdate 2: It is now Tuesday and I just got an email saying they have sent out my boo...

Sadly I didn't love this one as much as the first one. It was still enjoyable but some story arc's I didn't like. My favorite story arc was Beatrice, gah I adore her and I enjoyed Sam's growth in this book a ton as well! Nina was underused in this book and Daphne...still horrible.

My only complaint: Not enough Jeff.No, but seriously. This series is so much fun. It’s light and entertaining, like watching a cheesy tv show. I wasn’t expecting many turns and my ships haven’t sailed as I wanted to, but the road is worth it. Those books don’t have the most beautiful prose nor the most original story line or characters, but I always have the most fun reading it.UPDATE: I have been told this was a duology... So I am lowering my rating to 3 stars because THIS ISN’T A CONCLUSION. W...

First off, I want to start by saying that my disgruntled review does not come from Katharine’s actual writing. Katharine McGee can tell a story. It’s just this specific story that was terrible. Yeah, terrible.This book could hardly be considered a sequel.My biggest question: why have us get so attached to specific relationships and take us through all that was said in the first book, only to rip things away with no explanation at all?You’re telling me that Beatrice was LITERALLY about to give ev...

Edit 12/08/21: There is a God, and we're getting a third book! I have the utmost faith in the author that all of the unresolved issues will now get finished! THIS REVIEW & MORE → Paws and PaperbacksARC provided by Random House Children's through NetGalley.1.5 stars ✨Buckle up kids, you’re in for one hell of a review.If I was going to predict my biggest disappointment of the year, Majesty would never have even crossed my mind. I’m a huge fan of Katherine McGee’s books: they’re full of delicious d...

Y'all, I have been on A Journey™ this evening. I got an ARC of Majesty earlier today (there is a God and she is a woman named Random House), casually yelped and scared my poor mother (whom I'm quarantining with), and read the entire novel in a single sitting without getting up. My butt and my heart hurt.I'm just gonna say it: I really liked American Royals, but I loved this sequel more. Ending the first book on a cliffhanger was a risk, and to be honest, I was afraid that Majesty was going to be...

These books give me such The Selection vibes and I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm totally here for it.
