Minnacık bir novellaydı. Henry ve Sarah'yı 40'larının sonunda görmek baya duygulandırdı. Bir de beş çocukları olmuş. Hahahah prenses Jane büyük babaannesinin kopyası... Güzeldi ya. İkinci kitabı daha yeni bitirmeme rağmen nostalji oldu :)

Absolutely loved this little short story! Wish it were longer but I still appreciated being able to see how Henry and Sarah's lives ended up so far into the future. They are still without a doubt my favorite couple in this series so far. It was truly a joy to see them interact with all the new characters (their children, who are so entertaining and who I hope we see more of in the future of the series). I'm just really grateful we were able to get more of them. Can't wait for the next book though!

3 -No es lo que esperaba -estrellas.
*SPOILER ALERT*
La serie Royally se ha vuelto una de mis favoritas en este año, por lo mismo, esperaba que este pequeño epílogo, fuera un poco más allá.
la historia básicamente se centra en la vida después de Henry y Sarah después de su boda. Es un cierre mucho más completo del segundo libro y a todos los que disfrutamos de la linda pareja, nos muestra un lado que no siempre se muestra en una novela: la vida del matrimonio y una vida como pareja madura.
Mi problema principal es que casi no se hace mención alguna de Nicholas ni Olivia, de hecho, lo que se habla acerca de ellos es algo bastante general, por lo tanto esto un poco decepcionada.
Por otra parte, no estoy segura de que la nueva heredera del trono de Wessco me haya agradado mucho.
Tanto Nicholas como Henry son engreídos pero la hija de Henry llega a un nuevo nivel, algo comprensible si tu estilo de vida es el de la realeza, pero de todas formas, hay algo acerca de ella que no termina de gustarme.
No estoy segura de si esta pequeña historia complementaria servirá como puente para que ella tenga su propia historia, y es que, mientra que la idea de saber más acerca de la vida de casados nuestros dos protagonistas pasados, no estoy muy segura de cómo va a funcionar todo aquello.
En fin, fue una linda lectura, la verdad es que cuando tienes jaqueca literaria, un bonus como este es excelente para digerirlo todo, ya que te aporta un poco más que tan sólo una boda y la promesa de felices para siempre.

I was just excited to see more of Henry.
It was cute and charming but 'short'.
*My review is an accurate representation of the novella*

So happy this author gave us a bonus by writing this sweet short story about Henry's kids. LOVED Henry and Sarah's sweet happily ever after.

It was so good seeing Olivia and Nicholas and Henry and Sarah again. I loved seeing them so happy. I also enjoyed seeing Henry with Jane. She's clearly a bit of a Veruca Salt type (sorry Henry and Sarah!) and I can't wait to see her get her own story

Review also posted here. Oh, I didn't realize how much I missed Emma Chase's Royally series (I still haven't read the third book, sigh) until I picked up Royally Raised. Short stories set in a well-developed verse can be a tricky business and while I enjoyed Royally Raised, and Emma Chase is still totally my girl, I thought as a story it could have been concluded differently. Not to sound picky or cliched, but the short story felt too open ended.
Unless she plans on expanded it into a full story in the future, of course. I loved seeing Henry and Sarah again. Their happily ever after, their family, their kingdom. I enjoyed the general fluffy aspects of it--entirely because their novel in the Royally series was my favourite to begin with. Seeing them in their ever-after was sweet and not unlike dropping in to see an old friend. I loved it!
But, the plot felt a bit stilled when it became apparent that we wouldn't get a glimpse into what it's like for them trying to get through to their daughter. Again, it's such a minor thing that just made me step back from the short story in disappointment. It felt like it could have been better. It felt like the outline to another installment that hasn't been written yet, you know what I mean? Which, again, isn't the way you should approach it--basically, don't be a wet blanket like yours truly.
Things I loved:
HENRY AND SARAH. I mean, I don't have to explain that do I? I enjoyed catching up with their future and seeing them aged but still the characters we fell in love with. I could honestly read an entire series just based around them--they give me the warm and fuzzies.
GILBERT. The youngest child of Henry and Sarah is the cutest little nugget to have ever cute. I'm not kidding. This is now an actual technical term and there's nothing you can do about it.
EMMA CHASE'S VELVETY SMOOTH PROSE. Honestly, if you love Emma Chase's writing like I do you're going to love this regardless. Not only do we catch up with our favourites, we also get to see a lighter tone to her--not that Royally wasn't on the light side to begin with. What I mean is, it is the perfect style of writing to indulge in. It's smart and warm, just the way we like it.
Overall, I enjoyed Royally Raised and now have this sudden urge to reread the series before I get my paws on Royally Endowed. Yes, I'm late to this. Yes, I want to smack me a bit too.
