This picks up six months after the major event(s) in the first book. With no communication from Gale, Odette attempts to part ways but ends up folding like a lawn chair and conforming to royal life and its demands. Their chemistry didn’t have quite the magic of Part 1, mostly because I think Gale was written too passive due to the circumstances. Besides sorting out a palace mole and racism à la Meghan Markle, Odette’s actual safety is brought into question. It was a little too lengthy but does end with a HEA and detailed epilogue of her and all the Ersovian characters.
