A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole
4.0
This is an interesting one. Some things I really liked, some things I didn't.
The character work is great and I ended up liking both leads, but more separately than together because I feel that Thabiso went past the point of no return by not telling Naledi the truth sooner. The resolution of the conflict his actions caused felt rushed at the end and more like it needed to happen because it's a romance book than because it made sense for the characters.
The subplot of the epidemic also resolved very quickly way at the last second. That said, I really enjoyed the worldbuilding of Thesolo, the way the character and plot arcs intertwined, and the promise of side characters becoming leads in future books.
I definitely want to continue reading the series.
