4 ✨ for seeing everyone again
4 ✨ for Ferdy
3 ✨ for Cordelia (love her name, but she was a bit annoying)

Hi, yes, why do five out of seven of the Royal children in this family have a ‘C’ name and two do not? I don’t feel like I would react well to that if five of my siblings had connecting names but me and a brother do not. That’s neither here nor there but I had to note my confusion—and the fact I could barely keep tract of all of them.

I didn’t care for Cordelia and how she treated her cursed sister, especially since it’s shared through memories that she was close to her sister before the curse that made her unable to share her smarts out loud with everyone. I’m looking forward to her story next—perhaps with William? Does William get his own story?

It was fun to basically see all the couples from the prior books again! It’s been a year and a half since the first book’s ending happened, so I was excited to “see” everyone again. We don’t see Sarah, but we see at least glimpses of everyone else which was like a party, hahaha! 😁
