He has no desire to become King, but his parents refuse to listen to his thoughts on the issue. Nikolai is the prince of Mondovia, a small European country. I also adored Nikolai he is certainly a literary guy worth getting to know. I also loved her relationship with her brother, Dylan. I stopped seeing her as a whiner and started to understand that she just craved a little freedom to decide who she wanted to become. I wasn't sure that Becca and I were going to be on the same page at first, but she quickly grew on me. In addition to the setting and history, I really enjoyed the characters. Unlike one of the main characters, Becca, I love history and was super jealous of all of the tours she was going on with her family. I was pleasantly surprised that there was also a good bit of history littering the text. I loved getting to spend time in cities like Budapest, Vienna, and Prague. When time and money do not allow for travel, a book is always a great compromise. I was initially intrigued by this novel because of it's European setting. Traveling to Europe isn't really in my budget at the moment, but it is something I have wanted to do since I was a teenager. Royally Lost is the perfect read for warmer weather. I have been excited to read this one for awhile, but I had no idea I'd love it so much that I would polish it off in a span of about 24 hours. Its always nice to cleanse the reading palate with something totally different and when I am in the mood for something happy I always reach for a contemporary romance. It seems even the fantasy novels I have been reading have had some dark edges.

I have been reading a lot of dark and serious stuff lately. Source: ARC Kindly Provided by Publisher via EdelweissĪudience: Young Adult/New Adult - Contemporary Buy it at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or IndieBound
