“It’s a huge opportunity,” Dad insisted. “You’re trying to shackle me to a stranger!” “I told you she’d be stubborn,” Mom muttered to Dad.
the entire premise of these two books is SO FUCKING STUPID. I think that’s what annoys me most is that it’s very obvious that all kiera cass wanted to write was the dumb vapid romance but for some reason she wanted it to seem important so then there are these random political plot points that don’t make any sense. it doesn’t make any sense that instead of trying to make better policy that would protect employees or encourage unions that these people would immediately jump to having another government mandated bachelor season. what will this do?? it was an absolute mess last time and a lot of people died at the end of it. there was constant unrest and the palace was broken into at least 10 times. and you’re telling me this supposedly good king would voluntarily put his daughter through the same thing instead of actually doing his job? dissolving the caste system “slowly” over 20 years and then expecting to be hands off is naive and ridiculous which isn’t surprising because that’s all he is
