The situation highlights how little she is aware of current events outside her books, and how challenging her future royal obligations may be. Meanwhile, Christopher is busy with his own official duties, leaving Elianna feeling isolated and alone. Torn between her desires and her duty, can she still go through with this marriage? And can she navigate these issues before another proactive rival takes her down?

These books follow a set pattern, which isn't bad, but does get annoying. First 20%: a misunderstanding. Next 60%: Eliana feels bad about herself and cries. Last 20%: she shows someone up with info we aren't privy to. Christopher gets mad. The end.
Poor Eli really is struggling. Chris may not be doing so well either given his stricken expression and how he dotes on Eli and tries to protect her. The queen is difficult to read as well, and things seem to keep stacking up perfectly to play to Eli's fears and weaknesses. When she does take a stand though, even without even being aware of it, it's clear she's in a league of her own. Now if only she could recognize that confidence and apply it to other situations.
