Cracked Kingdom by Erin Watt

3.0

2.5 stars. I’ve loved the crazy ride that the Royals series has been up to this point. The cliffhangers and the anticipation between releases were part of what made this series so fun. Something about this book though wasn’t as captivating as the others. With every other book in the series, I felt like I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. There were so many ups and downs, so many over the top, crazy things happening, that I couldn’t put the books down. I didn’t feel that way with this one. It wasn’t really exciting at all up until the last 10% and then I felt like it ended so abruptly, almost like the authors were just over it and hurried to finish.

Easton was still a hot mess for a good portion of this book. He does finally start to show some signs of maturity and I liked that he finally put someone else’s best interests before his own. However, there were a few things that I felt went unaddressed and I still have questions about. It’s still a 3-star read for me because I can’t bear to give it anything less, but it was a disappointing end to the series.
