the dialogue felt unnatural at times, and the plot was really predictable, but it was a fun and easy read. i think it sufferred from too many perspectives (4), i honestly wish the whole thing was beatrice’s story since hers was definitely the most interesting/enjoyable to me.

American Royals is truly a masterpiece and is so underhyped. The world is created so beautiful with a plot that will have you staying up way too late to read. A great read if you want YA with royalty.

I liked the book overall. My only complaint is

that the kings cancer was diagnosed so unexpectedly, from experience of having a family member with lung cancer I think it would have been better to have some signs of him getting sick beforehand.

but otherwise I loved it.

If you like royal talk, you’ll like this (even if late, like me). I have so many thoughts. At times, I was mad and other times very hopeful. Now, on to book 2!!
