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!!

Was a great book but the ending was such a let down. I haven't even read a summary of the second book but I can guarantee you I know exactly what will happen. Im going to end the series with this book. But I did enjoy each chapter being the perspectives of different characters!
