The Princess Imprints A Traitor

rlly enjoyed this one. the story leans heavily into politics from start to finish, which i personally liked. eve's goal never wavered, n i appreciated how committed she stayed to it throughout the story. the romance was surprisingly my type too, n i definitely wasn't expecting the spicy scenes lol. i also liked how some of the conflicts from the first timeline were resolved. my main issue is that a lot of the side characters felt underdeveloped. they were there to support the story, but i rarely felt emotionally attached to them. the climax also felt a bit anticlimactic bc i was never truly worried abt whether eve would succeed. she felt almost too competent at times, so the stakes didn't hit as hard as they could've. considering she started out as a bookish, neglected princess with little political experience, her growth in the second timeline felt a little too convenient at times. overall, i had a lot of fun with the politics n romance, but i wish the story had pushed its characters a little harder.
