I can’t remember who Marie’s father is supposed to be, but it really doesn’t matter. She’s the only daughter of Queen Eleanor, who happens to be a sprightly 150 years old. Let’s start off with Princess Marie-Victoria of England. And the entire place is overrun by horny 17-year-olds. It takes place in a weird alternative history – it’s pre-WWI, Britain and France are one united empire, Prussia is still a thing, and also, Merlins are real but a title and not a single person. This book is like if Gossip Girl involved royalty (not counting that one prince Blair ended up marrying for like, half a season) and also ~magic ~, and then the whole thing got turned up to 11. In the end, I’m kind of glad I read it, but I was expecting something a bit darker, and not … royal Gossip Girl on steroids and also ~ magic~. Maas, which is also on my “Want to Read” list. I had put this on my “Want to Read” list on GoodReads back in June, and I must have gotten it confused with A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Here’s the problem – I honest to god thought this was a different book when I requested it. Just before Christmas, I requested two books from the library – this one, and one I’d end up finishing in January 2018.
