Getting approved for Majesty by Katherine McGee made my day! I was so excited because I loved American Royals. This series is not the type of books I read often, that are full of drama, but I enjoyed this series a lot.
Spoilers ahead for American Royals…
We start where we left off in American Royals. The king has died and Beatrice is now the Queen. Because of these events, Beatrice no longer feels that she should marry Conner. She feels that the right thing to do is move on with the wedding with Teddy. This of course makes Samantha mad and leaves Conner heartbroken. In this book, Conner does decide to resign and we don’t see much of him after that.
In Majesty, we still have the same four POVs Beatrice, Nina, Daphne, and Samantha. All of these POVs surprised me in some sort of way which I loved. Everything completely changes from the first book. At first, I wasn’t too happy about it, but I quickly started liking the direction each POV was going.
Beatrice is struggling to adjust to her position. She is queen but feels like no one is treating her as such. It seems that everyone wants her to get married first before she does anything serious. Nina is dealing with her breakup with Jeff. She knows it’s for the best but still has feelings for him. She tries not to run into him at any of the events, which doesn’t work. Someone new comes into Nina’s life that may make her forget all about Jeff.
Samantha is still dealing with the fact that she can’t be with Teddy. Samantha is my absolute favorite in this story. I feel like she has grown the most throughout this series. She realizes so much of herself in this book and why she is the way she is. Daphne is the same ol’ chick. She is still chasing after her dream of being with Jeff and she doesn’t care who she hurts or destroys in the process. She has a bit of an epiphany and had some likable parts, but for the most part, I still disliked her.
If you loved American Royals I know you will love Majesty. A lot has changed but I feel like all changes made sense.
This is an incredibly fast-paced and easy read. It's effortless to get drawn into the intrigue and drama of this world.
I have two problems with this book, though, and they're pretty big ones. The more important one is that this is an incredibly white world. The royals are white and in the first book, there is no mention of anyone of color (with the possible exception of one woman who may have been Hispanic--I didn't remember this at all, but my friend Julia mentioned it). I think someone may have discussed it with the author, because in this one, we learn that after slavery was abolished, the now free people also developed a separate monarchy, which was eventually merged with the Washingtons while the former Black kings and queens received much lower titles. I would've liked more information about this, but it really isn't covered very extensively.
The other problem is that the first book is entirely discounted by events in this one. Every single relationship is different. Samantha, who's in love with Teddy? Not anymore. Beatrice loves her guard, Connor? Nope. Now she's all in with her planned marriage to Teddy and they love each other. They got a dog and everything. (I will be honest; I actually love Teddy and Beatrice together.) Nina is now with Ethan and not Jefferson; Daphne loves Ethan and not Jefferson. Samantha doesn't love Teddy anymore; she's now dating a descendant of one of the African kings, which was initially to make Teddy jealous, but...
And OK, I do like that it explores the fact that sometimes you don't want what you thought you did. It's OK to change your mind and that's not always explored in fiction. But I don't think that's what was going on.
I know it sounds like I hate this book and I really don't. It's a fun series to read and I get so immersed in the world (and I've not been reading that much this year, so when I tell you that I flew through this, it means something because I haven't been flying through anything).
If there's a third book, I hope it's more diverse and we learn more about the other former kingdom and also that Daphne gets the result she deserves. Because she's very Cruel Intentions and manipulating everything and she keeps getting away with it.
Book 2 in the series!
An 'alternate history' of the USA where George Washington was named King of America, and we follow his descendants as they lead in contemporary times.
Had my concerns that I wouldn't love the sequel as much as I did the first, but it more than exceeded my expectations!
Without giving away too much, McGee's writing and ability to change readers' minds on how things should work out is GENIUS level. I'm amazed with her storytelling and emotional punches.
For Royalty watchers (& even those like me who aren't), readers who root for independent women, and those looking to swoon for a few hundred pages.
I really enjoyed the first installment in this series, but I appreciated how McGee deepened and added nuance to the initial drama of these royals. In this second book, we see more explicit address of racial injustice, more development to characters who may have felt slightly flat before, and still, plenty of gasp-worthy moments. A delight to read, but with even more substance than I expected!
Super fun follow up to American Royals. Loved the points of view and how quick the plot moved. The added characters were also a lot of fun.
This was really disappointing, to be honest. It was like the author was almost undoing all of the fun parts of the first book, and I was almost halfway through and there was like zero drama? It was just lacking pretty much everything I liked about the first one, and we didn't even seem to be building to anything? I don't know, I was just bored.
American Royals II: Majesty is an excellent sequel to American Royals. It picks up right where the first left off and has those same irresistible romances and juicy drama with secrets and lies. If you haven't yet started this series, go start with the first book now. Katharine McGee's series is set in an incredible alternate history where George Washington actually became the first King instead of President. Fans of Gossip Girl, The Thousandth Floor, and other soap opera like YA novels will definitely want to read this series. And if you enjoyed American Royals, you will love Majesty. I truly cannot recommend this series enough. Be sure to check out American Royals II: Majesty today!
Love love love this book! It was so fun, and I love falling back in with characters I’ve read and loved before. The world building is just great; McGee does such a great job of portraying a totally believable modern day America, just with the twist of monarchy. This book was also unexpected for me in a lot of ways. The first book dealt with multiple forbidden romances, and while a lot of the relationships changed it wasn’t a flop; I definitely found myself upset at the new romances that budded at first, but they actually formed so naturally and lovingly that I grew to ship them as much as I did in the first book. In fact by 80% I was like “phew everything is falling into place” and then BAM everything was chaos. This book was also unexpected for me because it humanized Daphne, who I really just saw as a manipulative monster in the first book. Overall an amazing book and set up well for book #3. So here’s my formal request: more Jeff, more Sam & Nina, and more Bea kicking as in her queenly duties!
American Royals was an interesting story-what if the newly formed United States had started as a monarchy instead of a republic? Majesty picks up where American Royals left off- with Beatrice about to become the first queen regnant of the country. Many wonder, can a young woman handle running the country alone? Luckily, she's engaged to be married. Will marriage solve her problems? What about her wild sister and lovelorn brother, the younger twins who often feature in tabloids and on social media with their parties and paramours? Does the conniving, social-climbing Daphne ever get her comeuppance? This book is definitely a must-read if you liked the first book.
I was completely speechless, I can't help but imagine that these books did a television series, wow all the glamour kind gossip girl, and someone can explain to me what happened to this ending? I wanted to scream co or crazy and wind up the book (joke) hahaha... I definitely love this book more than the first and my favorite character is still the beautiful Beatrice a strong character and very responsible in their decisions, I would not like to be instead hahaha so much stress that lives in the beginning of his reign. Thank you very much PRH international for this fabulous e-book.
I read American Royals during our school's annual Kindle tournament (like March Madness but with books - brackets and all) and really liked the book. Took me a little bit of getting in to as I had to wrap my head around the fact that American had a king. Anyway, liked the book and usually, the second one is not as good as the first. Well, I was wrong. This one had so much going on that I wanted to keep reading - alas, had to take care of college class reading also. The way that Bea and Sam grow through life's bumps in dealing with love, life, heartbreak, and fulfillment, they both did grow. Some of the twists and turns I did not expect but wow, the ending. Will definitely be recommending to students in the classroom and already recommended to school librarian to buy. Thank you so much to Ms. McGee, Penguin Publishers, and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book.
The Old Switcheroo
Imagine reading a first book in a series where you spent the entire book getting attached to the characters and their relationships with each other. Imagine that the focus of the book was the romantic relationships, there are several of them, and they’re all built up over the course of 300 pages. There’s angst, there’s pinning, there’s miscommunication and SO MANY OBSTACLES, but they’re all in love and they have to eventually end up together, right? Because everyone has great chemistry with each other and it works. And it’s fun. That’s American Royals for you.
Now imagine the second book in this series showing you a huge middle finger and doing the old switcheroo with everyone’s love interest. Scrap everything that happened in the first book – the relationships developed? WHO NEEDS THEM. The character arcs? NO ONE CARES. Out with the things that make sense, and in with absolute nonsense. That was American Royals 2.
At the beginning of the novel, all of the previously established pairings and ships just get abolished, and everyone gets paired up with a new person, that was previously someone else’s partner. I think this made the first book obsolete and moreover, it made everything feel incredibly forced and contrived.
I absolutely loved Beatrice and Connor’s relationship in the first book. And we spent the whole of the first book rooting for them. More importantly, it made sense for Beatrice and Connor to fall for each other. It was believable and it felt very organic. Moreover, this relationship was juxtaposed with the fact that Beatrice was supposed to marry Teddy, which she felt absolutely nothing for, which made the whole dynamic really interesting. But for some godforsaken reason, the other decided that is not interesting enough, so Connor was out and Beatrice falls in love with Teddy. WHY? Beats me.
Same goes for all the other characters. Ethan and Nina were an atrociously bad coupling, that had nothing going for itself, and was used as this supposedly juicy and controversial pairing (on the count of Nina being in love with Ethan’s best friend like a week ago). This was probably my least favorite of all the new dynamics we got, because it was so boring, it had no chemistry and I just kept thinking WHY. WHAT WAS THE REASON. Sam got a new love interest at least, which is better than her dating her sister’s boyfriend but still, her relationship was just as uninspired as the rest of them.
I Love When Things Make Zero Sense
This book succeeded at one thing – it made me hate all of the characters. I just think they made zero sense and as if they got a retouch of their personality from someone who has not used Photoshop before and is like gRaPhIc DeSiGn iS mY pAsSiOn.
Beatrice was such an interesting character in this first book, with her inner struggle between everyone’s expectations and her wanting to live her own life, but in this sequel she just became a character that swooned over Teddy and had this meek, annoying approach to everything. The author also decided to sideline Jeff as a character in this book, which was annoying on a lot of levels, since he is important to every other character in the novel. Nina was such a bland, uninteresting PoV, made insufferable by her relationship with Ethan.
Most frustratingly, I hated that Daphne’s character was so bad. She is like a mean girl in the first book, but you keep seeing this complex side to her, and her trying to compensate feeling worthless by becoming someone important. I think she was a really interesting character, and this book said fuck that. Daphne goes through no growth, ends up in the same place, does not learn and she deserved better than an ending in which she ends up with a person she does not love, being unhappy despite finally getting what she wants. It was such a sad ending to her arc. I mourn for her character. There was so much potential for the narrative to give her what she deserves while still letting her grow. Instead, we got her still being awful and yet she gets all that she wanted. But she’s sad. The point eludes me.
An Unsatisfying Ending Is Putting It Lightly
I think it’s obvious that this was supposed to be a trilogy and then something fell through. The ending was so unsatisfying and I really felt like no one of the characters ended up where they were supposed to. Moreover, a lot of them felt like they ended up back where we started, as if they had no character arc at all. There was a tone of stuff that was left unresolved and even the attempts to wrap somethings up were so poorly handled. The dialogue in this book also felt so contrived, and fake and stilted, it was so annoying to read and left such an unsatisfying feeling overall.
If You’re Gonna Do Something, Do It Right
This book also made some really lame attempts to handle some important topics, such as race and feminism. Firstly, the way this book tries so hard to make some supposed feminist statements and then frames them as these amazing, groundbreaking things really hurt my head.
This book also decided to introduce a Black character and did a lot of things poorly in that aspect. First of all, when we meet Marshall, Samantha introduces him by saying that his family was born into slavery and that they joined the kingdom after the abolition of slavery, and the whole discussion ends there. However, it really begs the question who were the slave owners if not the royal family. Supposedly, Washington became king instead of president and there’s a royal family now, but I feel like there was a discussion here that needed to be engaged and it was not. I feel like Samantha had to acknowledge and engage with her privilege there, but that just did not happen. She is also painfully unaware how the press might treat Marshall because he is Black and yet she is also represented as this woke queen that is dragging the monarchy into the 21st century. There was also a bit at the end that where Beatrice applauded Sam for being so inspirational to her people and stressing that it’s nice that she is dating Marshall because it would be nice for their family to represent the nation. As if Marshall is a token to be paraded around for the fucking royal family. It was just kind of gross to be honest.
Warning!: Do not read forward if you have yet to read the first book, American Royals! This review has spoilers from the first book.
Review of Majesty by Katharine McGee:
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
.
The American Royals continues in this 5-star read, following the start of Queen Beatrice’s reign. A reign starting after the sudden and unexpected death of her father, prompting her to succeed the throne, all while she is set to marry a man whom she doesn’t love, rather, her sister does. In typical younger sibling fashion, Princess Samantha seeks out a new suitor to try to make Teddy jealous. Daphne is still the conniving little snake she was in the first book, slithering her way to the top. A book filled with secrets, lies, drama, and deception, it also represents themes of love, relationships, and self-actualization. Majesty is a page-turning continuation of the American royal family that you won’t want to miss.
This book left me with a lot more closure than the first with all its cliffhangers but I’m still aching for more from the Washington royal family! This book, like the first, read like a soap opera. It’s a book for anyone who wants to live vicariously through lives filled with juiciness and drama. Secrets and scandals. So many ruses going on at once and they all backfired one way or another. Majesty is told from multiple points of view and while the characters relationships are messy, their personal growth and journey were far from it. I couldn’t put this book down and I didn’t want it to end. Give me more royals!!!
Thank you @netgalley and @getunderlined {#partner} for gifting me with an advanced readers copy in exchange for an independent and honest review. This book is out TODAY (09/01/2020) so I suggest you go get yourselves a copy now! And grab American Royals while you’re at it.
Side Note: Did anyone else pick up on Beatrice now being “Queen Bee”??? 👑🐝
A huge thank you to the publisher, Penguin Random House Canada, and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.
Following the death of King George, Beatrice, Sam, Nina and Daphne are all adjusting to the new status quo. Beatrice begins to step into her role America’s first queen, but obstacles are already popping up and her engagement to Teddy looms over it all. Sam, used to being the spare, is now unexpectedly the heir and subject to even more unwelcome scrutiny, making her even more determined to live up to her party princess persona. Nina, well, she is resolutely trying to put recent events behind her – especially Jeff – and avoid the palace to live as normal a life as she can, which definitely did not include Jeff’s best friend suddenly trying to get close to her. And where royalty is, Daphne is not far behind, and she is determined to get back together with Prince Jefferson, but her darkest secrets come back to threaten everything she has worked for.
Fair warning, minor spoilers ahead. I really tried not to, but it’s impossible to review this book without giving away a few things. I also want to say thank you again, to Penguin Random House Canada for the last minute ARC of this book, which I’m really happy about since I expected to have to wait atleast another month to be able to read it. I binge read this entire book in about 3 hours and it was quite the journey. Where American Royals was all about these characters trying so hard to fit into who they had to be, Majesty is about these characters coming into their own to become who they need to be.
Beatrice’s arc was, by far, my favourite. Yes, it did take her far too long to understand that there were people in her inner circle who didn’t have her best interests at heart – which also begs the question, what exactly was her mother doing in this book instead of supporting her? She appears about two times in the entire book. Regardless, watching her character develop was the best part of this book as she deals with the grief of her father’s death, coming into the heavy responsibilities as a queen when people are waiting for her to fail, and not least, maneuvering a very complicated relationship situation. The decision she made at the end though, was the perfect way to round off her story. We also get more insight into Teddy’s character which made Beatrice’s arc all that much better.
Sam at the beginning of Majesty, is basically in a huge tantrum because Teddy didn’t choose her, but she does a lot of growing up, particularly after she meets someone who has just as wild a reputation as she does. I was quite impressed by how maturely she was able to handle things by the end, though I don’t know what to think about the sort of friendship she strikes up with Daphne – because apparently Nina never told her about what happened between her and Jeff for some reason? Now Nina is just naive. There really isn’t much to say about her, since she seems to exist mostly to further Daphne’s arc and the aspects of her that I enjoyed in the first book were all missing. She is honestly very nearly a side character, which I’m a little disappointed with, because I was hoping she might team up with Sam (and maybe even Himari) to expose Daphne’s true character.
As for our social climbing Daphne…consider me impressed, yet let down. Not for her scheming and backstabbing which were as always, fascinating, if only to see how low she could fall in her quest to win a crown, but rather that none of her underhanded deeds were revealed. It was interesting to see her moments of clarity, so to speak, as she begins to realize what exactly she is giving up in her quest and how many relationships she is ripping apart to get there. There were hints of this in the first book, but it really hits her only now, and as we see, far too late. I guess you could say karma, but it wasn’t nearly as satisfying as an appropriately dramatic reveal. Can I also say that what little respect I had for Jefferson is completely gone. He’s an idiot and seems to be completely oblivious about what is happening around him. We don’t have a POV for him, but I’d love to find out what exactly is going on in his head.
But having read Majesty, my big question now is: is there a sequel? If there is, I can accept that ending which left several threads hanging – Daphne never got her just deserts, Ethan and Nina’s path ahead is uncertain, and is Jeff really that…dumb? Beatrice and Sam’s plotlines are the only ones that are semi-resolved, but I would have really liked to see Beatrice actually ruling – less relationship drama, more Queen Beatrice fighting the system, which is another reason for a sequel. After all, firing one condescending aide is a start, but it’s hardly going to fix the problem.
The fact that I keep coming back to Katharine McGee’s books proves that I have not yet tired of drama filled books, though they are far from my go to genre. Majesty, just like her other books, is one that will keep you reading if only to sate the irresistible urge to know what happens next. There is so much in this book that could be considered cliche, but McGee spins the story beautifully and knows how to keep the reader’s attention. In terms of pacing and narration, there is a huge improvement from American Royals, which made it that much more enjoyable. Overall, even if I wasn’t completely satisfied with the ending, this was well worth the wait and I would highly recommend it.
I really enjoyed this book! Maybe even more than the first. McGee continued where we left off and summarized throughout so one doesn’t feel as if they’re missing something from the first. Beatrice is a strong female character and finds her voice as a capable queen in this one. I cannot stand Daphne and think that I’d have made some very different decisions towards her if I was queen. I was definitely more emotionally invested in this one as I knew and loved the characters already. This was the perfect summer escape for a few hours, but I wish we got to know more about certain characters, such as Jefferson’s and Teddy’s perspectives too. I hope there is a third one because I want to find out what happens to these characters that I now adore, but at the same time even if there isn’t I think McGee ended it in the perfect way possible.
Thank you to Random House and Netgalley for an ARC of this book as I couldn’t wait to read it.
I loved the world of American Royals so much, and I thought that there was no way the sequel could top it. I've never been happier to be proven wrong. I flew through Majesty in a single afternoon. It's the characters you know and love (and love to hate) from the first book, but with more emotion because you're more connected to the characters. The stakes are so much higher in this one. I loved it.
Thank you to Random House for the ARC of this book.
In the follow up to the immensely popular American Royals, we pick up shortly after we left off. Beatrice struggles to manage her grief and her newfound role as Queen and what this new role means for her relationships. Heartbroken Samantha has growing resentment that life continues to not go her way and decides to find a new boy to show just how little she cares about the way things are going down. Nina is reeling, caught between the boy she loves, her best friend, and the boy whose just caught her eye. Daphne is determined to get what she wants, no matter the cost, even when all her secrets are on the verge of being revealed.
Personally, I found this book to be a bit of a disappointment. While the world-building is still interesting to me, I felt like the only character with much of an arc was Beatrice and that most of the girls were learning the same lesson they supposedly already learned in AMERICAN ROYALS. It felt to me like much of the character development was told rather than shown. That combined with MAJESTY's new direction made it difficult for me to connect with the characters. There is some sweet romantic development here too, but overall, I really only found myself invested in one of the relationships. This is a book that lives and dies on the reader's connection to its characters and their romances, so it didn't work out for me, but it certainly may for others. I'm fairly certain readers will not expect this book to go the way it does.
However, there is one other thing that makes me hesitant to recommend this to the teens in my community. I was pleasantly surprised that Ms. McGee deliberately brings up the issue of race in this book. I was looking forward to a really great discussion on the matter through some clever reimagination of American history. However, the situation is exactly the same as it is now: POC are still viewed as less than and people don't think they deserve to be certain places because of the color of their skin. There's been literally zero progress in this fantasy version of America too. Sure, characters point out how unfair such treatment is and they acknowledge the ugliness of America's past with regards to slavery, but POC already know they're treated unfairly and that America has an ugly past (and really, non-POC should know this too).
I'm not one who gets overly sensitive when it comes to matters of race. But it was really disheartening to see that most every thing else has been reimagined except the experience of POC in America. It made me feel like this narrative of POC exclusion and oppression is inescapable and I don't think that's a particularly encouraging message to be sharing with teens of color who already experience this unfairness every day and maybe would like to see some light at the end of the tunnel. As I mentioned before, this is the kind of book one might pick up when they want to destress and escape into a better version of reality (because who doesn't enjoy a good daydream about being royal from time to time). I'm not sure if one could do that with this book. The way race was treated here felt a bit like a nice, hard slap of reality in the midst of a fantasy. I almost wish Ms. McGee hadn't mentioned the issue at all. Almost, since I ignoring the issue completely could easily fall into the territory of white revisionism, which is much worse.
Much like AMERICAN ROYALS, there isn't a specific plot so much as meandering explorations of these four young women and how their lives intertwine. It's a quick read, perfect for those who enjoy something fun and not too deep to unwind. I think readers who enjoy romance-centric stories with high octane drama and unexpected twists will enjoy this book, as will those who like quirky history reimaginings. It is not a given that those who enjoyed AMERICAN ROYALS will enjoy this story as MAJESTY does a fairly drastic turn around from its predecessor. This is seems like one of those books that people just have to read to see if they like it.
I received a digital arc from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
I really, really enjoyed this book!
It’s been awhile since I read the first American Royals book so I was so glad the author included a lot of information to help you remember right off the bat where we left off, but it didn’t seem like too much of an info dump.
I don’t know if this just was the right time for me to read it or maybe it just was even better than the first one, but I enjoyed this one so much more! I liked the first book but it was sort of middle of the road for me. With Majesty, I had such an enjoyable reading experience and was feeling all of the emotions.
There were quite a few tropish romance book scenes, but for once, I was here for it! There were also plenty of the usual “misunderstandings leading to arguments” that normally aggravate me, but it kind of worked somehow.
I don’t know what it is about these characters, but they just pulled on my heartstrings. I just felt for Samantha and Beatrice and became so attached to them and their storylines. The scene with Beatrice and congress (no spoilers!) made me feel so many emotions and had me hurting on her behalf. I hated people who hurt our main characters and fell in love with the love interests right along with them.
I also want to say that I loved that Daphne isn’t just a mean girl villain. In both of these books, she is portrayed as an antagonist but she is also more well rounded, which I liked.
Overall, just a really good, fun read! It’s a great balance between romance and friendships and family, with a dash of royal drama! I’m assuming there will (hopefully!) be a third one and I’ll be so excited to read it. 4.25/5 stars!
This book picks up right after the death of King George and life must go on. Beatrice is now Queen and about to be married to Teddy (though in love with her guard, Connor) and Samantha is still upset about it. She tries to throw a fake relationship with Marshall in there to make Teddy jealous. Nina is trying to move on from Jefferson with his best friend, Ethan, and Daphne...well, she's still evil Daphne. Nothing changes there.
I really enjoyed each chapter. I loved all three characters of Beatrice, Sam and Nina, and I loved to hate Daphne. I feel bad for her, too, as she has no choice in what she is trying to do (winning Jefferson back). Have you met her mother? She is scary and not one to be messed with. Samantha's growth is this book was so refreshing, too. While I enjoyed all four characters, I really liked to get back to Beatrice's story. It was definitely my favorite. I think I might have enjoyed this book even more than the first as it just jumped right into it. We didn't need a lot of backstory or filler. This book also did not end on a cliffhanger, which was nice.
Thank you to Random House Books for Young Readers and NetGalley for an advanced readers copy in exchange for my honest review.
I read American Royals last year and LOVED IT. Imagine that America still has a monarch like England. If you are love the British Royals then you will love this series.
The second book in the series, Majesty, is just as good as the first book. It picks up exactly where the first book left off, but McGee provides you with just enough background to 1. not be repetitive and annoying, and 2. feel that you just read the first book, even though in my case it’s been a full year. I get worried about starting unfinished series because I feel that I lose out on some of the story that way, but this series doesn’t have the problem at all.
In Majesty, Beatrice has taken her place as Queen. And much like in The Princess Dairies she’s expected to rule but not by herself, because she’s a women. As Beatrice navigates the waters of being America’s first Queen, Sam her sister and second in line to the throne, is back to her usual party girl ways. The tension between the two sisters is massive, and honestly if they just communicated a bit they’d have a better relationship. But as most siblings, we always think the other has the better hand.
This book has everything you need for a YA read. Glamour, teenage angst, a villain looking to more up in the world (I’m looking at you Daphne, who is the worst!), siblings rivalries, and of course social media because this book is set in present day! I highly recommend this series for anyone looking for a fun YA series or for anyone who is obsessed with the British Royals.
I hope you enjoyed my thoughts on Majesty. If you liked this review please let me know either by commenting below or by visiting my instagram @speakingof_books. Huge Thank you to Random House Books for my advanced copy!
