4.0

The drama in these royals lives continues in this third installment. Beatrice is growing into her queenliness and trying to find her place amongst the royals in other countries. Samantha and her beau are trying to find a way to stay happy the way they are without the pressures of their familial and political duties tearing them apart. Jefferson continues to be oblivious to Daphne's recent schemes.

While this was not my favorite book in the series, it has a lot of new elements to keep you intrigued. Nina and Daphne form and unlikely alliance against a new mean girl and that dynamic is enough to constantly keep your brain focused because every time they speak your brain is going, "Whaaaat is happening??" It was fun to see Beatrice let down her hair a little and try out being an actual teenager. And the ending... O my word the ending. If you didn't think this series had anymore dramatic cliff hangers for you, boy were you wrong!

Great for people you like political drama/relationships, girl power, and awesome endings (even if they're cliffhangers!).
