NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING SERIES • Is America ready for its first queen? If you can't get enough of Harry and Meghan and Will and Kate, you'll love this sequel to the New York Times bestseller that imagines America's own royal family--and all the drama and heartbreak that entails. Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown. Perfect for fans of Red, White, and Royal Blue and The Royal We.
Power is intoxicating. Like first love, it can leave you breathless. Princess Beatrice was born with it. Princess Samantha was born with less. Some, like Nina Gonzalez, are pulled into it. And a few will claw their way in. Ahem, we're looking at you Daphne Deighton.
As America adjusts to the idea of a queen on the throne, Beatrice grapples with everything she lost when she gained the ultimate crown. Samantha is busy living up to her "party princess" persona...and maybe adding a party prince by her side. Nina is trying to avoid the palace--and Prince Jefferson--at all costs. And a dangerous secret threatens to undo all of Daphne's carefully laid "marry Prince Jefferson" plans.
A new reign has begun....
"Inventive, fresh, and deliciously romantic--American Royals is an absolute delight!" --Sarah J. Maas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Throne of Glass series and Court of Thorns and Roses series

Almost every character in this book did a full 180 comparing to the first book.
I think that not much made sense character wise. Maybe this was supposed to be a trilogy and not a duology?
In a way, two of the couples in this book definitely fit together but there was no transition so it felt forced and rushed.
Overall, it was just an okay read.
I wasn't exactly a fan of the first book in this series but somehow I did want to know what happened to these characters, which counts for something? I still think the royal worldbuilding here is dumb and this book comes so close to being like “oh the American monarchy is a bad idea” but then I got whiplash from it being like “jk actually the PATRIARCHY is bad and it will be better when we have a QUEEN” and like
is it??
a lot of predictable but enjoyable tropes in here–multiple kinds of fake dating ending in real dating?? arranged marriage turning into true love?? trapped in a panic room with your ex-bf?? coma victim waking up and then dramatically regaining her memories? it's all here babey
I did like the introduction of Marshall as a bigger character and this book continuing to vaguely try to grapple with racism?
Anyway folks who liked the first book will probably also like this one. I spite-liked it in the same way that I liked the first one so I figure that follows.
It's...fine.
