Nina and Jeff spend more time apart than together, so their relationship never seemed to really go anywhere, making it hard to care about them. However, many of the same "class" barriers that she used in The Thousandth Floor series frustrated me the first time and it’s frustrating me again here. It’s clear that McGee loves writing about class divide and the people who try to “cross” the line into a different class.
All that said, it's still a fun read!Ī Little Too Similar to The Thousandth Floor I do wish that we had gotten Jeff's POV, because right now he is coming off as a naive boy, which doesn't really suit the "jaded prince" mentality. The cattiness of Daphne, the meekness of Nina, Beatrice and Sam's love interests. Nothing really jumped out and completely surprised me. If you like this book, you’ll love that TV show as well!! My slight frustration was around how predictable most of the “drama” is. A lot of this actually reminded me of one of my favourite TV shows: Royals.
There are so many great moments based around this concept and I genuinely loved when characters talked about how a democracy wouldn’t work because it would encourage power-hungry people to run for office.hmmmm.Īmerican Royals was so much fun to read! I loved the different POVs and following the drama of the “royal” family. Basically, imagine a world where George Washington became King George I, causing all other countries to continue accepting their own monarchs, thereby changing the way the world is run (bye bye, democracy!). I loved the many nods to how McGee has rewritten history, which start in the Prologue of the story. I'm a fan of rewriting history and couldn't wait to see where the story took me. I enjoyed the books (see my review here) and was really excited to find out that she had begun a new series, this time around the fictional American royal family. The Thousandth Floor series by Katharine McGee was popular for a reason: the stories were entertaining, moved quickly, and we got to know a slew of different characters.
