DNF @24% (Chapter 10) — So, this is a new author for me, and I was excited to read her for black history month. And it looked like this was going to be a bit of an ownvoices book too, so double yay! But right away I could tell the writing wouldn’t likely be a match for me. It was a bit clunky, there was a lot of repetitiveness, and occasionally it felt like pieces had been edited out because I got confused. Not a great start, but I love me a royal romance, and Penny seemed pretty fun.

And I probably would have finished the book, even if it was probably going to be a 3 star type dealio…but then I glanced at some reviews on Goodreads and discovered that this is a duet, and it ends in a cliffhanger. I had assumed the series was a set of related standalones. And since I wasn’t out of my mind impressed, I figured I would cut my losses now. *shrugs*
