A Tale of Two Princes by Eric Geron

lighthearted medium-paced

2.5

I really expected to like this one, because it sounded like a fun romance. The problem was, we've already got the American Reign series and Red, White, and Royal Blue... and as a result, this one didn't feel like it was breaking any ground and it paled in comparison. In addition, so many of the characters seemed like actual members of the Britis royalty with such minor tweaks that there was no real character building done by the author for them. Imagining a royalty that never existed is fine, but in this case it didn't feel well fleshed out and the world building was full of plot holes that could have been better thought of. Overall, it was cute but it doesn't stand out and I think there are better options for this kind of story. Also, we know the book is set in Canada, we don't need the word maple every other page to remind us of this, that was a pet peeve that became more and more annoying as the book went on. 

 
A huge thank you to the author and the publisher for providing an e-ARC via Netgalley. This does not affect my opinion regarding the book.
