A Prince on Paper by Alyssa Cole

This was probably my favourite in the series! I loved both of our main characters and thought both of them were very written and fleshed out. I also liked the way the political commentary was weaved in throughout.
The plot point of Nya being suspected of trying to overthrow the monarchy because of a phone game was absolute gold, I only wish this plot point had been dragged out more. There felt like so much lead up to the point where they think she's some sort of spy but then its quashed in 30 seconds. I would have liked it to be drawn out and more dramatic so we could then get a hilarious reveal of it just being a video game.
However, the truly amazing part of this book was the sibling of our love interest and their journey with gender identity. Having a non-binary heir to the throne was such a wonderful plot point and was dealt with in such a fantastic way. I would ADORE for a book following a 25-year-old non-binary royal and a possible love story.
