"First thing first, the story has potential but needs a couple of things fixed, like a follow writer said, it confused me because I wasn't expecting also her being a supernatural. So it will be best you explain of and change it. Some things where amiss and you can do it. So just edit it and you will be good to go! ❤️ "
Lots of Potential
"So I want to be fair and honest while writing this review. I don't think it matters about the length of the book as long as everything is conveyed in a comprehensive way. Whenever I dive into a book, I always read the summary first. From the summary I got that this book was about a 19th century princess who is embroiled in a treacherous plot with her half-sister who covets her throne. What I wasn't expecting while reading the book was that the princess, Elena was a werewolf or at least a hybrid of one since her half-sister kept referring to her as such. There wasn't any indication of this within the summary so I was very surprised that this was a part of the book. It almost felt like I was reading two different books when it was revealed that Elena had this ability and that the raiders she was with were from a werewolf pack. It just seemed a little left-field so I would suggest updating the summary of the book to indicate it also being a werewolf novel. The other thing that I noticed was while the setting was supposed to be in the 19th century, there wasn't very much in the way of 19th century customs or speech. The characters spoke as if they were from this modern era by using words such as "bestie" and such. While this is typically fine, it does confuse readers and take them out of the world the author is trying to create and can sometimes be distracting. Another part of the novel that seemed to be off, was the fact that Elena leaves the compound and goes out into the woods in military armor and murders members of the Monsoon Pack with silver tipped arrows. It wasn't really revealed why she did this and there weren't any repercussions to her actions which leaves one to wonder, shouldn't there be some sort of werewolf law that punishes those who kill their own kind? And where did Elena learn how to use a bow and arrow since this wouldn't be a skill usually becoming of a royal princess in that century unless we're given some backstory? Also, after the attack by her half-sister, Elena awakens on the side of the road. This seems especially strange since it appeared that Chloe wanted her dead. I felt like she would've at least locked her within her own dungeon until she could be executed. I do have a few suggestions that would most likely make the book a little longer such as giving us more backstory to Elena and her upbringing as a princess, adding more detail to her coronation and the attack by her half-sister, having Elena awaken in a dungeon and having to find a way to escape before she meets the raiders on the road, expounding upon her life with the raiders before her half-sister discovers her, and then giving her more intimate time with George to see how they fall in love. George was an interesting character and it wasn't explained why he was at a different pack's stronghold. Was he sent out on a mission? Was he told to spy on them for his own pack because of a plot to take over? These are just a few questions that would make the story more enticing for the reader. It was just accepted that George was just there and happened to find Elena as his mate. Was it possible he was hunting nearby and caught her scent and just knew? There are just too many unanswered questions. Also, how is Elena a werewolf? Was her father one? Her mother? If so, wouldn't werewolves be accepted into their society since she's a royal and heir to the throne? The readers need more explanations to why all this is so. While I think the book has potential, it's lacking in explanations and moves very fast without helping us understand the situations that are unfolding. Why doesn't Elena go back and try to take back her kingdom? It just felt like she was content staying with the werewolf pack. I think the story is going in many different directions without following through with the original plot line of the story. I thought Elena wanted to rule her country but then it changed.. I hope this helps the author in the future. I think the story has potential and just needs to be fleshed out better."

"I wasn't very fond of the POV changes inside the same chapter. May I suggest keeping each chapter to one person's POV, or write from the POV of an all-knowing narrator? There were a few typos and technical errors as well. The plot could have potential with a bit more explanations, like the German that keep popping up."
