American Royals by Katharine McGee

4.0

---

I tore through this book over the weekend. I’m a huge @katharinemcgee fan and loved her Thousandth Floor series and was eagerly awaiting this new book. I really enjoyed the alternative history concept of an American monarchy as the spring point for the novel. I of course am already eagerly awaiting book 2, I’m not sure how I’m going to survive until next fall to see where things are headed. I’d love the next book to get a bit more into the details about how the country is run, what the challenges are etc (think the rebellion in the selection series or the human vs fae in A Court of Thorn and Roses), but I’m obviously in it for the romance too! I’m happy to see fiction taking on these alternative history paths versus just focusing on disotopian future societies.
