For example, the ending was great and is the one thing making me look forward to the next book. There were so many frivolous scenes that didn’t round the plot or develop the characters. However, I found the storyline to drag on very slowly and was a bit choppy. Will Hollis turn down a proposal every girl in the world wants for a commoner? Will she disappoint her parents and sacrifice her position in society? You will have to read the novel to find out. She can’t stop thinking about Silas or his eyes. They are commoners among the Coroa people. Silas Eastoffee is from King Quinten’s land of Isolte and fled their country to seek refuge in Coroa. Hollis can’t imagine sacrificing her happiness, particularly when a pair of certain blue eyes always remain in her memory. Their visit exposes that not all kings play nice, and not all aspects of being royal are good. Getting whisked up into the image of Queen before a formal proposal and marriage is overwhelming for Hollis, especially since she must win over King Quinten and Queen Valentina. Yet, Hollis soon learns not everything is as she thought. She wants to make a name for herself, so she is always remembered in the history of the kingdom. She thinks of all the glitz and glamour the Queens of Coroa behold along with the great legacy they each leave behind. Have you read this novel?Īt first, this turn of revelations thrills Hollis. It reminded me of Anna from Frozen when she meets Hans and wants to marry him that same day.The Betrothed By Kiera Cass is out now. There’s an insta-love between Hollis and Silas after a week of meeting each other that just doesn’t make sense. But when Silas tells her “she was his Sun”, Hollis realizes he’s perfect for her and she is in love with him. When Jameson tells her “she was the Sun”, Hollis thinks she’s only a trophy for the King. Jameson and Silas said the most cringeworthy love lines and they actually shared one in particular.

I was cringing at their “romantic” scenes. Kiera Cass was my goddess for romance when I was a teenager but The Betrothed let me down so bad. I actually don’t know what the rest of the side characters look like. She didn’t really describe the characters besides Hollis, Jameson, Silas and Silas’ family. No background story was given to any of them. They don’t have any development during the whole book. There really isn’t a plot, maybe only at the end but I think it was too fast-paced and just put in there to add some action in the book and make sure to have a plot for the sequel, it just didn’t make sense.
