A review by ofliterarynature
Ruler of the Realm by Herbie Brennan

3.0

I’m pretty sure I’m not imagining that our characters are all inexplicably now 3 years older than the last book, without an obvious equivalent time passing in the story? I can only assume because forced marriage and (fake) threats of forced pregnancy would be even more unconscionable against a 13/14 year old. Genuinely wtf.

No one seems to be experiencing any character growth either, and what was funny at first is becoming more irritating than charming.
