![]() ![]() I’ve always found American history exceedingly boring, and this alternate universe version made it seem more fun - the parts that McGee kept the same, anyhow. I do love historical AUs, too, and this one was especially fun. The world isn’t ending, no one is ‘the chosen one’ (well, unless you could being in like for the throne, but that’s not an ancient prophecy or magical phenomenon), and the characters aren’t constantly fighting for survival. I’m used to high stakes fantasy, and this was such a refreshing change. Overall, though, this was an extremely fun and easy summer read. ![]() I guess it’s to be expected, when dealing with royalty and the paparazzi. Or when, just like in every romantic comedy ever, everything involved a miscommunication. Or when the same character ran away from love for the same reason, over and over again. Sure, there were some areas that were a little cringey, like how McGee included little bits of awkward “what if America had created a democracy, instead?” commentary a few times. ![]()
