Um romance bobinho e gostoso de se ler numa tarde quente ao som de MPB e acompanhado de um copo de suco gelado, Sua Alteza Real apresenta os clássicos plots realeza-plebe e popular odiosa-nerdola gentil de um ponto de vista mais interessante (vulgo romance LGBT).
No entanto, a narrativa infantil demais me incomodou. Além dos termos que a Millie usa como se fossem alguma classificação importante para quase qualquer coisa na vida dela, achei que Hawkins a escreveu preguiçosamente conforme a aproximação do final do livro.
Millie deixou de ser uma personagem interessante e sua personalidade passou a ser a Flora. Depois que se declararam, Millie perdeu todas as inseguranças e tudo que a humanizava. Diferente de Flora que não mudou a personalidade, mas passou a se abrir mais (sua mudança é compreensível).
Além disso, a narrativa fica corrida conforme o final do livro e os conflitos são mal escritos, deixando parecer que apenas estão ali pra encher linguiça (como o misterioso caso não explicado de Sakshi que perdeu toda a determinação pra conquistar Seb e "se contentou" com seu amigo de infância). Sem contar a resolução de conflitos imatura demais considerando que ambas estão no ultimo ano do ensino médio.
Não digo que não recomendaria, pois acho que a leitura varia de pessoa para pessoa e toda leitura é única, mas não é um livro que pretendo comentar caso não me perguntem

I can’t lie, I’m a bit disappointed. I wanted to like this way more than I actually did, but I guess this just wasn’t the book for me.
The setting was honestly very beautiful and the plot seemed quite promising from the start. The issue for me was the characters. I wasn’t really able to connect with any of them, and the story moved along so quickly that it all felt too rushed and stitched together. I think if this was longer and gave us more time to go deeper into the characters I would’ve enjoyed it more, but unfortunately that wasn’t the case.
The romance was quite cute, but it all happened rather quickly and did feel kinda insta-lovey towards the end. There were definitely some cute moments that I enjoyed, but overall it wasn’t what I had hoped it would be.

This book was EVERYTHING. I crave books like this where it’s a light and fun rom com with nothing too sad and tragic happening. I finished it in a few hours because I was hooked and needed to know what happened. I haven’t seen these beloved tropes done with queer characters often and I hope we see more in the future.

it was okay, cute, but nothing special. go watch young royals! also i listened to lana and mitski the entire time i read this so that might have affected the rating
Okay so Flora is kind of a bitch and if she’d done what She did to Millie to me, I would be smacking her rather than kissing her and that’s me being honest.
I loved the quick wit, the brutal honesty and the genuine nature of their relationship. I loved that Flora is every bit the princess, but is still what every little girl fails to see a princes being, human. She makes mistakes, she has genuine flaws and her quick tongue is just as shocking at her Cold persona.
I feel like I missed something and didn’t miss much at all in reading this before the first book, but that being said I don’t feel like I missed much in the sense of who Millie and Flora were, just more background in the dynamics in Floras family.
I honestly don’t know if I’d continue and read the next companion book, but I’ll always be glad I read this little gem, even if it did end far too quickly.
