A review by chandlerainsley
The Swedish Prince by Karina Halle
2.0
despite my rating, this was not awful.
it was just... very very lackluster. i think a lot of romance can fall victim to, like, a select handful of bad plot issues and this definitely did.
sex does not make a relationship. sorry. you can have the longest slow burn in the history of slow burns but if the characters are pretty flat, fall in insta love, and then once they do bang that's ALL they do.... yeah it's just a no. and this happens SO often it's kind of embarrassing.
getting it on does not solve problems, it doesn't grow your interpersonal relationship, and it definitely doesn't overcome cultural differences. the couple of main conflicts in this book are solved with a brief 5 second conversation and then the characters fall in to bed together. meh.
and in general, the characters were nothing special for me. the only thing i'll probably remember is viktor's gross swedish dirty talk.
anyway i'm going to go promptly forget this book now, BYE!
