A review by lbarsk
American Royals by Katharine McGee
4.0
I want the sequel NOW! How dare Katharine McGee just... end the first book on such a HUGE cliffhanger.
But seriously -- a really fun read, and one of the best romances I've read in a while. McGee has clearly fleshed out the entire "alternate history" of America With A Monarchy, and tbh I would read a whole "history book" version of that! I want to know all about how the country evolved, what the different regions of the country are like (since they seem, right now, like giant counties that people are Dukes of, as opposed to states?), if McGee has envisioned an alternate world history as well because of the change... all sorts of things!
And then re: the book itself, I think the way the characters grow and mature over the course of the book is great, and I can't wait to see that continue in the sequel. I think that by focusing on FOUR VOICES there are a few things that get glossed over at times, but overall I was engrossed and had fun reading this. :)
