Fit For A Crown #1
Fit For A Prince
The prince is dead.
Diaspro Onelle would have made an excellent princess, if her betrothed hadn’t died in front of her. On a fateful night in the kingdom of Ivalon, Diaspro’s entire world burns as the king of Aemastia destroys everything in sight. Before she can escape, she’s taken captive and locked away…until another fateful day arrives, and she’s summoned before the enemy king. Intrigued by Diaspro’s previous betrothal, King Septimus decides that any woman fit for Ivalon’s perfect prince must surely be suitable for one of his sons.
Diaspro is suddenly thrust out of her prison cell and into the role of prospective princess. With only a few months to charm a prince, Diaspro doesn’t have much hope that she can capture the heart of a man who already despises her. She would rather die than marry an Aemastian blue-blood, but that’s exactly what will happen if she can’t convince one of the three brothers to propose.
Dying is easy, but surviving long enough to enact revenge is the kind of challenge Diaspro can’t ignore. Marrying the enemy would allow her to save her people, but can she win a prince so soon after losing her own? She’ll have to tread carefully or else they might find out how she was chosen by royalty the first time...
Fit For A Prince is book one of a three part, no-spice, fantasy romance series, featuring a swoony must-choose romance, arranged marriage, prisoner to princess, and impossibly high-stakes.

The prince is dead.
Diaspro would have made an excellent princess, if her betrothed hadn’t died right in front of her. Now she’s a prisoner to the King of Aemastia. The only way to earn her freedom, is to play his twisted game. Diaspro must convince one of the King’s three sons - to marry her before the season ends, or she dies. There’s only one problem, the three princes want nothing to do with her and see her as a threat.
First of all- Love the cover!! 😍
Fit for a Prince opens with fast paced action and suspense, that makes you want to keep flipping the pages to see what happens next. I really had a great time reading this. I didn’t know who to trust, I didn’t even know if I trusted the FMC- She was most definitely hiding something that I just could not figure out and I’m usually super good at this!! The book felt like there were holes, but by the end, everything started coming together as the secrets were revealed. Mrs Manning definitely had me stumped. I didn’t like any of the Princes at first, but as the story progressed, each one began to let their guard down (some more than others 🙄) . I really hope we get to know them a bit more in the next installment, they did feel like their characters could have been fleshed out a bit more but …. Holy cliffhanger- WHAT WAS THAT ENDING?! Was not expecting that 😱. I have no idea where this is headed, but I can not wait for the next book to find out! Clean read all around - Would recommend ❣️

WHAT DID I JUST READ?! *cue a thousand echoing gasps*
So, I’m usually pretty good at guessing plot twists, but once again, Miss Manning has blown my world into smithereens. I won’t elaborate, because it is cruel to spoil, but if you guess the story's ending early on, you have my eternal respect.
The pacing was slow, but fast…I was hooked by the mystery surrounding Diaspro and her country—I NEEDED to know Diaspro’s secrets and what made her the person she was.
Diaspro, our determined and fierce FMC, was quite the leading character. She’s not willing to take no for an answer and doesn’t believe in failure—for she has everything to lose. Her fighting skills are unmatched, and I’ll admit that I thought she was magical herself—a elf maiden warrior—but that wasn’t the grand secret at ALL 🤣 The only royal left of Ivalon, she’s made by the despicable King to court his sons—see what made Prince Damon, her former betrothed, want to marry her (when no one else was good enough). Prince Atlas, Lochlan, and Cedric are so different, yet so alike. They all long to uncover Diaspro’s secrets, but each has a different motive. I would root for one Prince, but then choose the other…I can’t wait to see which one she ends up with and how she’ll fight for her kinsmen.
If you love PLOT TWISTS, love triangle (but it’s kinda a rounded base love triangle with 3 men in the running), royal intrigue, dark fantasy vibes, fierce FMC, a despicable king, mysterious magic, you have to pick up this book!

OH MY GOD! THIS BOOK IS BRILLIANT!
If you want to read a book that will keep you on the edge of your seat, pick this one!
You keep reading thinking you know what's going to happen, but you actually don't. The characters are layered and have so much depth that you feel for each one of them.
And that end...oof, Book 2 can't come fast enough.

Oh. My. Word.
Words cannot begin to even described what I am feeling after reading this book. Abigail Manning is a master of weaving a tale where you think you know where the plot is going, but then BOOM out of nowhere a plot twist! This plot twist will throws you in for a loop and have you questioning everything! I have never been more stumped about direction a series is heading towards! The plot is riveting and I was immediately pulled in! I kept reading until I was done. Definitely a bit darker of a tale but so good! Diaspro was a cunning and sassy heroine that would do whatever to save her fellow countrymen. There is one prince that I am rooting for. He is most likely not the popular choice but he fits the enemies to lovers character well. Even though Diaspro vexes him, I can see a hint of a soft side to this prince. If you love enemies to lovers and love triangles, highly recommend. Fit of a Prince is definitely worth the hype! I am eagerly waiting for the next book!
I volunteered to read an ARC copy of the book and all thoughts are my own.

I funded the kickstarter for Book 2 so I hope that the second book has an even twister tale than this.
Honestly, I loved it. All three princes were anti-Diaspro for a while. So I like that it was not simple to charm any of them. The slow 'charming' was precisely what I was looking for, and by the end of the book, I still am unsure over who likes or loves her.
The reason I did knock it down a star is that the world building was little to none. There is also magic but magic wasn't really present.

ANOTHER FIVE STAR READ FROM ABIGAIL MANNING.
I am not surprised. I walked into this expecting it to be five stars and it did not disappoint. I really loved the FMC and all of the MMCs in this story (yes, even Lochlan!).
I was not surprised by the big reveal at the end of the book and was very pleased to see how it played out. It was very well done. I have my theories for book two and I cannot wait to see if I am right or wrong!! It is going to be so hard to wait for the next book to come out!
There were so many fun and exciting scene in here and the story is full of tension! I absolutely breezed through this story. I cannot recommend it enough for romantasy lovers.
Diaspro is such a bold, strong, intelligent woman. I loved her spunk, her cunning, and her wit.
Lochlan is definitely the moody brother. I actually really like him, I think there is so much more to him than we see. I wish he wasn't so aggressive sometimes, but I think we are going to find out some things about him in book 2!
Atlas is very mysterious. I have the feeling he will be all the girls favorite. I like him too, but my morally grey loving heart is still really intrigued by Loch. I also think we will find out more about Atlas in book two...but I will keep my theories about both twins to myself!
Cedric seems to be kinder and gentler than his two brothers. There were some cute moments between him and Diaspro...but i think she needs to be careful about who is nice to her...
Anyways, I know we are going to find out so much more about these three brothers and their father, who is clearly just a terrible to his own kingdom as he is to others.
I am going to be (not so patiently) anticipating book two to see what happens after that final scene!
I definitely recommend this story! I am positive it is going to be one of my top reads of the year!
I received an ARC from the author, all thoughts in this review are my own.

I have been looking forward to this book for a while, and once I started it, I couldn't stop. Now that it's finished, I can't stop thinking about it and wishing that the second book was out already.
Diaspro was a heroine to root for. I want her to survive and to secure her vengeance. I also want her to tell me more about her secrets- and I'm not the only one. The three princes she must woo also want to know what she's hiding. Concerning the princes, I have a clear favorite who I'm rooting for to win Diaspro's hand and a very clear LEAST favorite (and also one that I don't want anything bad to ever happen to- ever).
The court intrigue was practically a character of itself. And the plot twist that I tried unsuccessfully to guess the whole book blew my mind.
Note for more sensitive readers: this story discusses war crimes and extreme cruelty.
This is the perfect book for readers who love to choose which morally gray characters they want to root for and want to read fun tropes in a new way.

If I could give this book more then 5 stars I wouldn't hesitate to do so! I could not bring myself to put this incredible story down, hence me finishing it within 48 hrs. So if you don't want to read past this point but want to know if you should pick this book just let me save you the trouble, DO IT, READ THIS BOOK! You won't regret it I promise!
Now if you want more info don't worry I got you ;) As a fantasy you have the specific characteristics and tropes that go along with the genre, BUT it is also so unique, I have yet to read a book that has a similar plot. It's a twist on a why choose romance and instead it's a Must Choose, featuring three guys with very different personalities and one girl forced to convince one of them to marry her or else she forfeits her life. See what I'm saying, not that you couldn't get that from the blurb but I just loved this premise and it's reality SO much!
While this book takes place entirely inside a castle it is full of danger, action, intrigue, suspense, banter, tension, and battles. Not to mention the amazing plot twists that had my heart racing and reading late into the night. I loved every interaction the FMC had with the princes, and the dynamic she had with each of them was unique to each relationship, and they all had their own personalities that were built up on and fully developed so that it is very easy to connect to them and the story.
The world building for being contained inside a castle is pretty in depth. You learn of the different kingdoms, their history, the present, what the government looks like and how it operates, and many other little details that makes this world what it is. We also get to learn about the FMC's history in pieces and let me tell you, there are so many secrets to uncover!
Also be warned this isn't a happy tale, the FMC and her people (She was engaged to a prince) suffer under the cruel thumb of the enemy tyrant king, there is starvation, abuse, death threats and so much more. Which makes for an incredibly exciting story in my opinion. There is little glimpses of light though, in friendships, or allies, the FMC doesn't give up hope.
I think you know it's a good book when you feel for the characters, you are afraid for them, or excited for them, you can root for a certain love interest, or wonder what the outcome of situations and the decisions they make will be. And that IS this book, I felt all these things and more. I was really enveloped into this world and never wanted to leave, I cannot wait for the next book! Yes it does end on a cliffhanger and it's not a nice one....
Now about the FMC, I love her strength, her with, she is smart and doesn't only talk about it she shows it. She of course has her flaws and doesn't always win in every situation, but she does survive. She never gives up, stands up for others, has a big heart, and is very stubborn. I also like that she doesn't cower from the King's demands, occasionally she does refuse to listen and is punished (Which is another point in this book's favor it doesn't have a villain who's all bark and no bite, this guy fulfills his promises) but she learns quickly that it won't help her so she plays the game a little differently.
I won't go too much into the Mc's because I am aware this is already long winded...but I will say there is a specific one I am rooting for! One is a golden retriever who is sweet and full of heart, one is definitely the black cat who takes after his father but may have a heart which is buried, and the other is the morally gray quiet and brooding one who has some traits of both.
Content: No-Spice, No foul language, Beatings/abuse, starvation, imprisonment, off-page death, wounds/blood (Nothing gory)

Soooo good! I both started and finished this book today. I was around 60% when I realized this wasn't going to all resolve by the end of the book, there wasn't enough time. That ending though! I didn't see that coming although looking back, the signs are there. I'm definitely going to need the next book!

This book is such a page turner!!!!! I couldn't wait to find out who Diaspro really was, and more about the brothers and which one she would marry. I'm just dying to read the second one!

I usually LOVE plot twists, and this one was a good one. But I hated that I didn’t know who or what she was for 99% of the book. And it seriously felt like I was just reading about an AI robot character, she had no feelings for anyone or anything, except, for perhaps, her servants. And for most of the book, it seemed like she was just waiting for the princes to give her their time. And even then, once she did, one of them, she spent no time with, and the other, she just watched him fight. And then the youngest prince, you basically get no emotional attachment because you aren’t a part of their discussions in the study. Which made the princes’ efforts in the end not make any sense. I was intrigued by Diaspro, but this was all plot and nothing else.
That being said, the plot was excellent. I have questions about this guardian from her kingdom and it makes me wander if he will be the true love interest since these other three were so lacking. I hope the next one is better.

This took a while to get into, with the MC doing dubious things to survive, but my goodness was it good. Her secret kept me guessing until the end.

Fit For A Prince was a phenomenal read! From the very first page, the story drew me in and kept me turning pages.
Each character was interesting with their own plans and motivations. The plot and pacing were both excellent, and I found the world-building very interesting.
But I must say...that cliffhanger was pure evil. I need the next book 😆😭

I don't think I loved this one but I definitely found it intriguing and was very interested in what happened next. Ultimately, I was surprised by the twist at the end and immediately checked out the next one.

Wow. Just wow.
I love this book. I finished it the same day that I got it.
The romance was really good. I don't normally like love triangles. At all. They just make me annoyed because I can really see the end coming and I don't like watching all of the teetering back and forth between two characters. But this was more than a love triangle. And I loved it. I still don't know whom I'm rooting for. And I don't know what the ending will be yet.
The characters are so good. I can truly tell the depth and realness to each one. They are all interesting and don't feel shallow. I love seeing the growth in each character.
That plot twist at the end was unexpected. Looking back, I can tell that all the clues were there. But even with all the clues, I completely didn't catch it until it happened. It was expertly done. And I can't say much more if I want to stay spoiler-free.
The contest feel of this book was fun. And I really liked the background of war in the story. It was really cool.
This was a very good book and I can't wait for the next one. I'm excited to see where this story goes!

The characters are so good. I can truly tell the depth and realness to each one. They are all interesting and don't feel shallow. I love seeing the growth in each character.
That plot twist at the end was unexpected. Looking back, I can tell that all the clues were there. But even with all the clues, I completely didn't catch it until it happened. It was expertly done. And I can't say much more if I want to stay spoiler-free.
The contest feel of this book was fun. And I really liked the background of war in the story. It was really cool.
This was a very good book and I can't wait for the next one. I'm excited to see where this story goes!
I received an ARC copy of this book. All opinions are my own.

Words have escaped me. WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!? The tension. The yearning. The frustration and fear! I swear my emotions were swirling with every page. I knew it was a series, but I was NOT expecting that cliffhanger. Well done, once again, to Abigail Manning. The girl knows how to write a dang good book!!!!
The mystery was so well-done. I didn’t catch on until the moment before the reveal. I was as clueless as the princes as to what was going on! Honestly, this was better executed than some of the thrillers I’ve read recently. & it’s not that genre, but man… does my brain feel like it’s still running a thousand miles a minute trying to put all the pieces together & take a second look at the clues!!
This book is for you if you’re into:
-Courting 3 Princes
-Steely Gazes
-Strong FMC’s
-Slow Slow Slow Burns
-Love at first Spite
-Clean/No Spice/Monogamous
I was lucky enough to receive a copy in advance, but you’ll be able to enjoy this book on August 1st!!

Y'all.... This book was way more than I expected. I loved it, but you know what it reminded me of? INHERITANCE GAMES!!!!!!!!! There are three brothers in this book and they are exactly the same as Alex, Grayson, and Jameson. Sadly Nash is not included in this but to be honest I didn't love Nash. Anyway this book was amazing better writing than Inheritance Games and a better plot. I just loved the characters and the plot twists and secrets and all the inbetweens! If you haven't read this book what are you doing here go read it!!! Oh! I almost forgot this book is super clean. One of the princes fight the princess and make her bleed but that is about it.

ok so what just happened!!!!!
This boookkk has so many twists and turns that you just dont know who to trust. But it’s sooo good!!!!! Lady Diaspro is full of sass and Witt and you want to root for her the whole way through the book. The whole time I had to know who is she and now I need to read book 2!

This book... oh man. I backed the Kickstarter for this book because I've been wanting to read some of Manning's work, and I'm glad I did. But let's start at the beginning.
POV: First person
POV Character(s): Diaspro Onelle
Verb Tense: Past
Trigger Warnings: imprisonment, captivity, torture by starvation, some assault
Spice: None
I backed this book sight unseen on Kickstarter, like I sometimes do, and I'm just going to be honest, this was such a fun, fast, delightfully surprising read. But also? I need book 2 like yesterday. I read the book in a grand total of two days because I just really, really wanted to know where it was going, which is always good.
Lady Diaspro Onelle is our POV character who we meet at the end of a battle that's destroying her kingdom. She's engaged to crown prince Damon, but he's already been killed in the fires raging through the castle, as have his parents, the King and Queen of Ivalon. Diaspro has decided she won't take anything lying down, however, and as a survivor, she's ready to try and escape the soldiers from the neighboring country who have invaded her home and destroyed everything she knows. Unfortunately, she's caught.
Taken by King Septimus back to his home in Aemastis, Diaspro finds herself in a dungeon with other Ivalonian captives. She's taken from the dungeon after practically starving to death into the king's palace where he gives her an ultimatum: prove you're worthy of a prince by convincing one of my sons to marry you or die. Diaspro is never one to take a challenge lying down and immediately begins her quest to woo the three princes of Aemastis, or at least to attempt said wooing as she's got no intentions of a happily ever after in this rival kingdom.
The premise of the book was a delight, but I was mostly intrigued by Diaspro herself. We got many of her internal thoughts, and it was those juxtaposed against what she told everyone that made me question if she was an actual truthful narrator or not. Her character was an interesting conundrum. She seemed uncomfortable in the pretty dresses she was given, had great empathy of her fellow Ivalonian slaves, and studied the princes for weaknesses to exploit through barbed words rather than flirtatious banter. I spent the majority of the book wondering what exactly was going on with her and wishing for more information to come about her background.
What I got was a last-minute reveal that threw me completely, and I was utterly delighted. I love it when an author can truly surprise me, and Manning did not disappoint with the reveal. (Also, she now has me wishing book two was in my greedy little hands so I can continue the story.)
Aside from Diaspro, I loved most of the characters. Her few Ivalonian servants were a delight, especially Beckham with his little magic necklace that had healing powers. I loved that Diaspro became a symbol of resistance among the Ivalonian servants in the palace, just as the mysterious Guardian had done outside the palace. I loved the three princes, twins Lochlan and Atlas and younger brother Cedric. They each had interesting personalities, and though I'm fairly certain which prince is going to be endgame for Diaspro, I have to admit there's potential for all three, which is rather nice.
I'm not going to call this a romantasy. It felt more like a prequel to a romantasy. It sets us up to crave more in the reveals I'm sure will come in the sequel(s), and it gives us this glimpse into a world where Diaspro comes from a country where magic still lives but remains locked away in stones that reside in a Vault. The dead king took the Vault's location to his grave, and even Diaspro, despite her closeness to the prince, doesn't know much about the Vault. Meanwhile the princes of Aemastis are neck-deep in military plans and plots to try to discover this Vault as Aemastis has a dearth of magic and King Septimus desperately wants to find the source of magic and claim it as his own.
Overall, I really quite enjoyed this story and will happily buy the sequel when it comes out. I loved Diaspro and the reveal at the end because I was beginning to think there would be no grand reveal and instead there would be a race to escape the cruel king. But just my luck, the surprise was definitely there for me. It's rare I get so surprised these days since there are only so many ways a story will go, but I did and I loved it.
This is a lovely intro to a series, and I'll await the next one with bated breath.

I received an ARC of Fit for a Throne, the third and final book in the Fit for a Crown romantasy trilogy by Abigail Manning, one of my favorite authors. The problem was that I hadn't read the first two books yet! I decided to rectify that, starting with Fit for a Prince. In truth, I'd been avoiding this book for a while because the premise sounded rather bleak. A story beginning with the death of a prince, where his former betrothed is tortured and forced to marry one of the sons of his murderer, doesn't sound very appealing. Now that I've read it, I can say that the marketing was \spot-on. Anyone who is sold by the promos will get exactly what they sign up for, along with a shocking and unexpected twist at the end.
Princess Diaspro watches in horror as the kingdom she was meant to be part of burns and falls to the wicked King Septimus. When she tells him that she was betrothed to the fallen prince, he decides to force her to marry one of his sons instead, claiming that if she was good enough to be a princess of Ivalon, then she must be good enough to become a princess of Aemastia. Diaspro is subsequently locked away with servants who are loyal to her home kingdom and kept under strict rules regarding where she can go, when she can eat, and who she can talk to. She proceeds to immediately break every one of these rules and torments all three princes with her rebellious nature.
Diaspro is not the type of heroine I usually enjoy reading about. She is cold, calculating, and ruthless. She sees marriage as a means of survival and has absolutely no interest in love or romance. None of the princes seem like a good match for her, if one even exists. Atlas, her main choice, is just as cold and calculating as she is. Lochlan despises her and wants her dead, never sparing an opportunity to demonstrate that to her. Cedric is kind-hearted, which she sees as a weakness because he wouldn't fight for her. Over the course of the book, she plays games with their heads until their feelings for her become impossible to ignore, whether those may be of hatred or love.
Abigail Manning is an expert storyteller who keeps readers turning the pages and constantly shocks them with new twists and surprises. I had several suspicions about what the big twist might be at the end, and none of them were even close to accurate. The twist explained a lot of things that were hinted at in the story and made me curious about the next two books in the series. It reminded me of several anime shows, but I can't reveal what those are without spoiling the ending. I already started the second book and found that I care about Diaspro a bit more now that I know her secret.
Fit for a Prince is a dark, brooding fantasy tale devoid of humor or hope. The protagonist has little to no emotion and experiences no joy over the course of the story. That said, if you've seen any of the marketing for this series and thought it looked appealing, you will probably enjoy this book. I have enough confidence in Abigail Manning's writing that I may enjoy the other two books more than I did this one. If you're looking for a no-spice romantasy that's full of action, suspense, and surprises, don't hesitate to check out this series.

Reader’s Notes:
*Series or Connected Books?* this is the 1st of a trilogy & must be read in order
*Point Of View:* Diaspro (with the epilogue from a different character’s point of view)
*Any Cursing Or Possibly Offensive Language?* there are about 10 mentions of characters cursing/swearing with no words used on page
*Romance?* Not really at this point
-they are all (Diaspro & the 3 princes) being forced by the king to spend time together, but the only thing that happens in this book is Diaspro mentioning feeling flutters occasionally and enjoying spending time with some of the princes
*Things To Know:*
–there is mentions of magic in this world, but it seems to be limited to metals/gems that have and can perform the magic
-there are mentions of fantasy violence & death (the story starts with a kingdom being overtaken by another)
-it is mentioned that some rulers were/are cruel to even their heirs to make them stronger
Review:
Oh my gosh! That plot twist! 😱 <— That’s all I’m going to say on that… I don’t want to give away any spoilers. 😂
I’m highly enjoying this trilogy already! There are so many unexpected surprises every step of the way and I’ve been at the edge of my seat trying to figure out who will end up being the one Diaspro falls for in the end. (I have my hopeful candidate, but have no idea if he’ll actually be the one!) Each of the princes is interesting and seems to have different things they are hiding, just as Diaspro has secrets that she’s keeping from them. I’m curious as to their true characters and how the king may bring those aspects out in them by going against Diaspro going forward.
I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book!
Summary:
Diaspro Onelle almost became princess to the kingdom of Ivalon. But when the kingdom was overthrown by their rivals from Aemastia and their royals killed, she’s no longer their princess to be. In fact, she’s no one. Yet the king of Aemastia has kept her in his prisons to deal one final blow to the fallen royals of Ivalon: she will woo and wed one of the king’s three sons or die upon failure to do so. Afterall, if she was good enough for the perfect heir to the Ivalon throne, she should be enough for their kingdom too. Or Ivalon must have been beneath anything Aemastia had to offer…
Despite the odds completely against her, Diaspro is not about to back down when it’s the only hope the people of Ivalon have left. Even though it’d be the one thing she’d never want to do with the bad blood between their kingdoms poisoning any chance of even an amicable marriage. It’s her one chance to exact revenge on her enemies. But she’ll need to hold her cards close in the dance she’s about to partake in, or the enemy could discover why she was chosen the first time…

{Romantasy; MMMF?; clean romance so far}
⁃ First in a series
⁃ Plot twist at the end
The book started well. I love the idea of a woman pursued by several men, as long as only one succeeds. I am not a fan of Reverse Harem/Why Choose. In this version, her kingdom was overrun, and she was...not killed. Instead, the invading king decided to use her to demonstrate he claimed the ultimate revenge. It’s petty. It’s Trump. But who can argue against life?
Diaspro is an interesting name, so I quickly googled it. Apparently, there is a Diaspro, who is a spoiled and arrogant fairy. In a way, the two characters match. Diaspro was upperclass and was obviously mentally browbeaten by her own king to become a fantastically-skilled assassin and spy. Naturally, her own self-worth was high.
The king declared she must woo his three sons, in a reversal of this trope. If one chose her, she could live. I don’t know if I would take that deal, since she would be tied to her enemy for life (which might only last hours into the wedding bed).
⁃ Atlas: middle son, quiet, competent, and the one she thinks is tolerable
⁃ Cedric: youngest son, likeable, bookish, and most-likely-to-pop-the-question
⁃ Lochlan: oldest, bitter, angry, and will shoot his own foot if it will hurt her, too.
But there were too many logical questions on my part to truly enjoy the story. At least one was answered by the plot twist, but there were more:
⁃ Why would the king require her to beg for marriage? Wouldn’t it make more sense for the king to require his 3 sons marry and place her as a candidate? Then he would get an heir.
⁃ How does she think she has any choice? She spent enormous brain power on making a choice when only a tiny amount of time was spent in their company. And she was too cold and calculating.
⁃ How can two of the princes fall in love if they barely interact with her?
I enjoyed the clever parts of the story and finished the novel. I think Abigail Manning’s writing is designed for quick summer reading. You can enjoy the story without being bogged down with the language.
Do I want to continue? No. I am not fond of Diaspro’s character and don’t want to live in her head.
