Editoral Review
In Crown Me, the first novel in The Royals Saga, Geneva Lee creates a world of glamour, intrigue, and forbidden love. With a blend of romance, drama, and suspense, Lee weaves a captivating story that is sure to please fans of the genre.
The novel revolves around Clara Bishop, an American exchange student who finds herself caught in a web of romance and deceit when she falls for Alexander, the Crown Prince of England. As their forbidden love blossoms, Clara must navigate the treacherous waters of palace politics and deal with the jealousy of a vengeful ex-girlfriend.
Despite its familiar tropes, Crown Me manages to stand out with its vivid descriptions of high society and the tension-filled scenes that keep the reader engaged. The characters are well fleshed out, with Clara being a relatable protagonist who is easy to root for.
The setting, a mix of historic palaces and modern-day London, adds an extra layer of richness to the story. Although Crown Me may not be the most original novel of its kind, its strengths lie in its ability to keep the reader invested in the characters and their story.
Lee’s writing style is easy to read but never simplistic, and the pacing keeps the story moving without feeling rushed. That being said, the novel does have its flaws.
The dialogue can feel a bit stilted at times, and some of the twists feel predictable. Additionally, some of the secondary characters feel underdeveloped, with their motivations and backstories not fully explored.
Overall, Crown Me is an entertaining read that will appeal to fans of romance and drama. Although it may not be a groundbreaking addition to the genre, it is well-written and engaging.
