I wish we saw more interaction between Beatrice and Jeff, but at the same time, Beatrice and Samantha’s sibling dynamic is my favorite. Katharine McGee has created my favorite kind of, but most tormenting love triangle, aka the type where I adore both love interests and don’t know who I should be rooting for! Beatrice’s storyline was well-balanced between her love interests and determination to be the best leader she can be, while grieving over arguably the most significant person in her life and trying to sustain a better relationship with Samantha. There’s just so, so much to explore about Beatrice, between her love triangle and her future as the first queen of America. Beatrice was my favorite lead in book #1 and she remained so in this sequel. I really didn’t know what to expect from Majesty, given American Royals’ slight cliffhanger. Majesty takes place a few weeks after the ending of American Royals, with the Washingtons back in D.C.
American Royals spoke to the lifelong Princess Diaries fan that I am, as the book takes place in a present day America that is a monarchy instead of a democracy. Majesty was among my MOST anticipated reads of 2020 – honestly, it might’ve been my most anticipated YA release! – especially because book #1, American Royals, was among my top 3 favorite books of 2019. And a dangerous secret threatens to undo all of Daphne’s carefully laid “marry Prince Jefferson” plans. Nina is trying to avoid the palace–and Prince Jefferson–at all costs.
Samantha is busy living up to her “party princess” persona…and maybe adding a party prince by her side. Ahem, we’re looking at you Daphne Deighton.Īs America adjusts to the idea of a queen on the throne, Beatrice grapples with everything she lost when she gained the ultimate crown. Some, like Nina Gonzalez, are pulled into it. Like first love, it can leave you breathless.
