Will the Godfrey monarchy go on?
A fitting end to the series, Relevant Reign, met my expectations. It provided the answers to the questions raised throughout the series. It delivered shocking revelations which kept me on my toes. The hunger for power and the lengths taken to achieve the same was the focus of the series. Readers gain a clearer understanding of the reason for Oliver’s placement in the royal family. One also sees how seamlessly he adapted to the world and situation he was placed in. Placed on the biggest stage of his and he proved himself worthy.
Lucille continues to prove why she deserves to be the princess of Molave. Her enemies made the mistake of underestimating her. Oh, man! I loved how she showed them she was no walkover while displaying empathy for their situation.
There is not much that can be said about this installment without giving away spoilers. I will say this though, Romig created a world which pulls readers in and characters which one can either like or dislike. A suspenseful tale filled with many twists that readers are likely to get whiplash. Figuring out was telling the truth boggled my mind. Then there was that revelation regarding the princess from Borinkia and her brother. Damn! The lengths one will go through to gain power.
Overall, the Royal Reflection series delivered an intriguing tale. A tale featuring a mashup of romance, suspense, political drama and mystery. Fans of romantic stories served with a side of suspense will want to add the series to their summer reading list.
