Empecé la lectura sin muchas expectativas (ninguna) y efectivamente, estuvo a la altura de mi entusiasmo.

Honestamente, creo que es el libro más misógino que he leído en la vida; la representación de "la mujer" en estas páginas, da vergüenza ajena, no me voy a molestar ni en explicarlo...

Nunca unos protagonistas me habían parecido tan Meh!, lo juro... ya no sabía cuál de los dos POV me resultaba más tedioso. En los libros anteriores, esto se amortiguaba por la reconfortante presencia de personajes secundarios realmente entrañables, que esta vez apenas aparecen... (Wade me gustó, pero no fue suficiente.)

La trama, tan insípida como de costumbre, me sorprendió en el final. Sí, me sorprendió; porque ese desenlace lo descarté desde el primer momento, porque me parecía demasiado obvio... ¡qué ingenua yo!

Por mucho que intenté abstenerme de hacer teorías (porque sí, siempre supe que sería como la 8va temporada de GOT -y sí, estoy hablando de la serie de HBO- decepción total) mi cerebro involuntariamente formuló unas cuantas...

Por ejemplo, shipié a Callum y Steven con todas mis fuerzas... porque eso hubiese tenido más peso para justificar la lealtad ciega de Callum hacia este hombre: al punto de costarle el resentimiento de su propia familia, que lo que realmente se revela al final; o sea: wtf?
Otro cabo suelto es Gideon... o sea, su hermano menor enfrentándose a cargos con el peso de una vida entera detrás de las rejas, ¿y él nunca aparece? Once again: wtf? Considerando su antecedente con Dinah, el test de paternidad del feto y las muestras de ADN debajo de las uñas de Brooke... joder! Cito a Brook en el 2do libro para iluminar mi línea de pensamiento: “but DNA will show it belongs to a Royal. Those tests don’t always differentiate between relatives, particularly fathers and sons.
So, if you know what I mean...


Me leí este libro más por amor a Easton que por interés en el plot, pero incluso sabiendo que los siguientes libros son suyos... no me animo a intentarlo, siento que ya me he torturado suficiente. Al menos me alegro de haber completado la trilogía principal.

What a wild ride it has been these three books. Twisted Palace is the third in The Royals series and the final book from Ella and Reed's povs. Friendships, murder, dirty judges, and blackmail oh my! Ella and Reed's relationship is in question with one's father back from the death and the other suspected of murder. The next book in the series starts from Easton's pov!

So much drama. Who knew I would enjoy teenage drama so much? As I have written in my previous reviews of this series but these are easy to read. A perfect escape, even if this one was a bit ridiculous and over the top.

Reed becomes suspect number 1 in a murder and life is thrown off course for Reed and Ella. Not only does this change things but someone shows up that completely shakes up Ella's world.

I didn't enjoy this one as much as the previous two but it was a great way to spend the evening.

The book made me stupid. They told me everything again from the begining, like I dont remember the past story.

I still don't understand why this book was necessary. I think the whole Steve plot could've been woven into the other books, like hints he was still alive, and then the whole murder plot could've happened and been resolved by the end of Broken Prince. I hated Steve, and I wasn't even sure if I would finish the book because Ella annoyed me. Where did her spine from the previous books go in this one? She couldn't just tell Steve that supplying sperm doesn't make him her father?! UGH!
