This book is so goofy, even when it deals with serious topics and the stakes should be high. “She didn’t have any valid excuse” — just say they can’t come because they’re ill or wounded, that they have other plans or, I don’t know, that they aren’t spoiled royals and therefore actually have to work to stay alive? I’m so tired of this girl.

I’m calling it now (well, technically after the birthday party discussion a while back): the princess was dating her sister. And the reason the sister suddenly broke up with her is because Kiva’s arrival means that they need to move forward with their rebellious plans, which is why she’s mad a Kiva. This will probably be revealed during the masquerade ball in two weeks (at the end of the book).
