The Royal Matchmaking Competition

Reading the blurb for this one I was excited, the idea was fantastic and there were some hilarious comments like Unicorn forbid, that one had me laughing, I just wish I could say it was all that good.

The best part of this book for me is the beautiful writing style, a true storyteller's voice comes through in the written word and you get swept away into this fantasy world, also can we talk about those maps, they're absolutely beautiful.

The biggest issue I had was our MC Princess Qloey, I realize this is a fantasy book, and that she's a sheltered princess but she just came across as so materialistic, and so much more interested in how people looked and what they thought of her that in actually getting to know any of them.

That brings me to the second issue I had, there were just too many suitors, trying to keep track of who they were, where they were from, their titles, and what gifts they'd given her (the only thing that seemed to make Qloey happy) which challenges they had done well in, it was overall just too much.

I wanted to love this book, and I realize it's a Young Adult book but it just reads as young and superficial which is something I don't find entertaining.

Now I'm not saying this is a bad book, it's not, there were some very enjoyable moments but there were also moments that were for me just not enjoyable.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing an advance copy of this E-Book, I have voluntarily read and reviewed it and all thoughts and opinions are my own.
