This is the third book in the American Royals series that is based on an alternate history where George Washington became king, and his descendants are still on the throne of America.

In this one Beatrice is the young queen and trying to be respected despite being the first female ruler of the country. Her younger siblings Samantha and Jefferson are still finding their way as heir and spare (at least until Beatrice gets married and has kids). They are each still having relationship and romance problems but also wanting to support their sister as best as they can.

The world of the series expands a bit with this one by introducing other rulers of countries around the globe which in our timeline do not still have monarchs. The fun bits that come through about the alternate history are always kind of fun.

This one ends on a cliffhanger and the next book is the final one in the series. I'm probably going to be reading it sooner rather than later just to find out how all of this ends.

It's been a frustrating series at times but a fun ride nevertheless. ( )

WARNING: SPOILERS

This was much better than Majesty. I love how there was actual character development. The ending, of course, was a cliffhanger and full of suspense, just like Majesty. However, it wasn't as frustrating, although Daphne ended up winning Jefferson over, as always. In this book, Daphne seems to change and show that she's not entirely evil, but she immediately betrays Nina once again. I took a star off because I'm tired of Nina being used as a punching bag. Nina seldom gets a happy resolution, ever, out of any of the characters, when she and Beatrice are the nicest characters. I don't like how the author keeps giving them the most unsatisfying endings. In addition to that, Daphne never gets the karma she deserves. Ethan and Himari were absent from this book, and I feel their absence took something away from the story. They are essential characters in Daphne's POV, and I felt like having them gone in this story also contributes to the reason I took a star off. Daphne's manipulation never ceases. However, I enjoyed this drama-filled journey with Katharine McGee in the American Royals Series! The fourth book, Reign, which concludes the series, should have a gratifying ending. I hope Daphne eventually reaps what she sows. And I want Nina to have some justice. I hope Beatrice's car crash isn't a threat to her rulership, (which it might be). This story leaves us wondering whether Beatrice will be able to remain queen, what will happen to Samantha and Marshall after they abdicate their positions, and what's in store for Daphne now that she's lied to keep her relationship. Overall, the story was amazing! ( )

Not my favorite of the series but solid juicy goodness still ( )

This was a great read to kick of the year such a wild ride. I think this book is def my favorite of the series. I loved how this book focused a ton on changing character dynamics and allies and enemies changes. I loved all the characters in this read and there were so many twists and turns in this book that I did not epxect and book 4 is going to be awaome. I am hoping we get a certain charactwr POV AND I really loving the pacing of this read!! ( )
