5.0

I finally got to wrap up Elsa and Aiden's story; these two have been through so much. This trilogy was one of my favorite stories in this universe, even though things initially got off to a rocky start. Now, things got tedious from time to time between them since it was like every time things started to go right, they would crash and burn. But by the end of this book, we had everything wrapped up, they were living happily ever after, and we finally got our first baby! She's pregnant with Eli, and I love it so much. I hope we see when she gets Creighton, but I wonder if that makes it into that series.

2.5 out of 5 ☆’s.

“You're the only thing who breaks the endless vicious cycle.”

Note: I’m not sure if I enjoyed “Twisted Kingdom” more than its predecessor ”Steel Princess” just because I took a break in between those two books (and therefore cannot remember my exact feelings on the beginning of the series) or if I really just found ”Twisted Kingdom” to be more enjoyable?

ੈ✩‧₊˚

While I am glad that Aiden and Elsa have finally received their long-awaited HEA — I ultimately do not think that they needed three books to do so…

Going into the series I was most excited for Aiden & Elsa’s novels — because they were the pairing that I thought that I would enjoy the most — but giving them three books where they just ended up repeating their words and their actions became frustrating and monotonous to read.

I’m also not a fan of far fetched (OTT) plots in contemporary novels — so that is also something that impacted my personal enjoyment of their trilogy — but I know that there are others that enjoy those kinds of things (so it all comes down to personal preference)! :)

This book was okay. Similarly to the book prior, Steel Princess, I enjoyed the plot and the mysterious elements of the narrative. The constant back and forth over these three books between Elsa deciding she likes Aiden and then deciding she doesn’t again is just too much. The smut in this is down right inappropriate at times and really not for me, sorry. I also just don’t find myself in love with Elsa and Aiden as a couple, so the romance elements of it just don’t hit where they should. There were for sure some romantic moments which I loved, like the back story behind the arrow tattoos for example, but just overall not enough. I did like the gradual reveal of Elsa’s memories and just how much her past trauma is interwoven with Aiden’s though.
I’m not sure whether I’ll read the remainder of the Royal Elite series or not, I know the rest of the books all now centre around different characters/couples which could be interesting, so we’ll see.
