All of her chapters here were dedicated to her swooning over Teddy. In the first book, a majority of her chapters were focused on her struggle between her desires and the expectations of her. As with American Royals, this book is also told through the four POVs of Beatrice, Samantha, Nina, and Daphne.īeatrice – I really loved her in American Royals. I felt like they all had a major personality make-over. Why spend the first book developing relationships and building up the reader’s interest in those relationships only to completely dissolve them all? I’ve already become invested in the relationships introduced in the first book, so not only am I going to be upset with the sudden change of heart, but I’m going to spend my entire time reading actively rooting against them. This is one of the most frustrating things to me when reading a sequel.
The characters basically play roulette with each other’s partners. If you, like me, think you are going to go into this book with the expectation that the characters are going to work through the angst and mend the relationships left broken by the end of American Royals, you will be extremely disappointed. The first major issue with the book are the romances. So if you want to go into Majesty completely blind, I would just skip this review altogether. I’m going to try to try to keep this as spoiler free as possible, but I have to divulge some major plot points in order to explain what went so wrong with this book. This book was not anything close to what I had been expecting and I’m still not sure what the fuck I read. Reading Majesty felt like I was in the Twilight Zone. I absolutely adored American Royals and I was really looking forward to reading this sequel. I’m a huge fan of Katherine McGee’s books: they’re full of delicious drama, juicy secrets, complex characters, and angsty romance. If I was going to predict my biggest disappointment of the year, Majesty would never have even crossed my mind. Edit 12/08/21: There is a God, and we're getting a third book! I have the utmost faith in the author that all of the unresolved issues will now get finished!ĪRC provided by Random House Children's through NetGalley.īuckle up kids, you’re in for one hell of a review.
