I have a theory that Ethan from the American Royals is the Kings Illegitimate child and that the “commoner he fell in love with” is Ethan’s mother. Please I have evidence I need someone to give me feedback 😭😭😭😭

Jefferson is the epitome of “he’s literally just a guy! Hit him with your car!”

He either has zero idea how much he’s being manipulated and thus has zero brain cells, or he does and doesn’t care and thus is a piece of shit.

“this was one of those instances where the English language fell short. The word for losing something insignificant-a baseball game, a library card-shouldn't be the same as for losing someone who defines you, someone you love. There should be a word for losses you can recover from, and a different word for the life-shattering losses, the ones that leave you forever changed.” 🥲

#shoutout to this quote for genuinely bringing me to tears tonight 🥲 #bc yeah what the heck is up with that @the English language #this is from the 3rd American Royals book ‘Rivals’ if anyone was wondering #highly recommend 👏👏 #no one cares sage #american royals #katharine mcgee

Samantha Washington + Marshall Davies

Samantha had never felt this way about anyone before—like she was grateful to the world simply because Marshall was in it, and at the same time like she wanted to make the world better because Marshall was in it. She loved him. It was as simple as that.

Finished Reign, the 4th and thankfully last American Royals book. Had low expectations and still, it was even worse than I expected. I think I rated it 1/5 stars on goodreads because oh boy was this awful.

Spoilers below

Book 3 left at such a cliffhanger that there was no way I wasn't picking up book 4 and yet the way things get resolved didn't do much of anything for me. The book felt all over the place and kinda like it was just thrown together to give every character a good ending. The romances and pairings were like a second thought and worse off was character development. Even the plot itself felt like a rehashing of the other books.

And to have a detestable character like Daphne get away with all the crap she pulled on Nina and Jeff and get off not only with no consequences but in a better place was very very annoying. After book after book of Jeff being blind to her manipulations there is no moment where everything comes to light. She doesn't even admit to lying about being pregnant...and then when it seems like she will get hated by the media suddenly there's a way to resolve it so that doesn't happen. Ugh.

I am so glad I don't have to give this series even a moment of thought now I finished this last book.

Katharine McGee needs to stop trying to redeem Daphne here. I'm a Daphne stan because she's morally repugnant not because she has a secret emotional side

#majesty #american royals #katharine mcgee #the void's a nerd #i dont read this book for complexity. i read it because it's the literary equivalent of popcorn #this girl drugged her best friend #causing her to fall down a flight of stairs #and spend multiple months in a coma. #she's horrible i love her #i dont feel bad for her when she fails to blackmail the LITERAL QUEEN OF AMERICA #i simply thing 'wow daphne try harder next time' #'girlboss a little harder' #she gets so sad when everyone is like 'wow daphne you literally do not care about anyone but yourself' #YEAH BESTIE! YOU DON'T! THATS WHAT MAKES THIS SO FUN

Title: American Royals

Author: Katharine McGee

Series or standalone: series

Publication year: 2019

Genres: fiction, romance, contemporary, fantasy

Blurb: When America won the Revolutionary War, its people offered General Washington a crown. Two and a half centuries later, the House of Washington still sits on the throne. As Princess Beatrice gets closer to becoming America's first queen regnant, the duty she has embraced her entire life suddenly feels stifling. Nobody cares about the spare except when she's breaking the rules, so Princess Samantha doesn't care much about anything, either...except the one boy who is distinctly off-limits to her. And then there's Samantha's twin, Prince Jefferson. If he'd been born a generation earlier, he would have stood first in line for the throne, but the new laws of succession make him third. Most of America adores their devastatingly handsome prince...but two very different girls are vying to capture his heart.

Goodreads reviewers reading a book about a royal family to find it has monarchism in it:

literally i might be the only daphne stan in existence but i’m okay with that. homegirl literally only knows the hustle, her parents are abusive af, and frankly if she somehow becomes queen in the last book, i think it’s well deserved

I’m too much of a history nerd to just like, *not* fixate on the world building part of the American Royals series. Like yes, super interesting to go “okay Washington claimed the title of King” and trickle down from there in establishing a constitutional monarchy for America.

But it’s how *everything else in the last 300 years* also changed or didn’t happen that wiggles in the back of my mind. A *kingdom* of *Brazil*?? The French Revolution didn’t happen, or happened much differently? The anarchist movements of the 19th century didn’t take off and wipe out heirs and start wars?

The Great War didn’t happen???

The rise of communism? Fascism? No? Everyone went “right well, we’ve all got kings and emperors and sultans now, that’s jolly good” and *none of the revolutionary thought* came to the commoners?

Canada has its own king!!!!

Like I know that for a lot of things, the American Revolution and the establishment of modern-ish democracy was a big deal. But enough to erase communism or anarchism or literally anything that changed the world in the last 250 years?

(Also I don’t think any African country has been mentioned yet, it’s been a while since I read the first two books and I’ve just started the third, but uhhhh. Yeah monarchy and Africa didn’t go well together)
