Diamond mining series and Diamond spending series
This article is going to be one that takes on a different flavour to my usual fare. In this article, I will evaluate each book series critically, to see which ones offer more for the trouble of spending diamonds. These could be endings, more useful collectibles, meaning romances, bonus scenes, backstories etc. I want to evaluate the ones that are worth it, and the ones that aren’t. I will evaluate the series as a whole, and I won’t be evaluating the short books for obvious reasons. With that being said, let us get into it.
There shall be five levels of spending,
- A - Buy everything - The book(s) is/are excellent and the diamond choices make it so.
- B- Buy mostly everything (70 to 90 percent) - Some dress choices aside, bonus scenes and romantic…
6th Choiceversary Blog
Hello and welcome to another semi annual review blog by General Khor. I haven't been on Choices for a while, except to play the Cursed Heart series and Untameable 2, otherwise known as Unbridled, mostly because I've been focusing on Star Wars: The Old Republic, but also because of the disappointing, if not infuriating, turn Choices has taken over the past few months. Yes, I know the new CEO of PB promised changes, but given PB's track record, they will need to earn my trust. I know most of the blame lies with the silent majority of the playerbase, who... sigh, let's just get into it, ok?

Canceled Sequels Update
I know I’m late to this, but I feel like I have to make a blog post about this.
For those of you who don’t know (I sure didn’t), Pixelberry had a series of livestreams back in January where they revealed what would have happened in some canceled books ahead of Storyloom’s shutdown.
I already knew Storyloom exists, or rather “used to”. But I still don’t really know what it is. I think it was a place fans could make their own stories?
My previous blog post was said to be my last one, but I kept saying I’ll return if the sequels I really want come out. I feel this is going to be the best we’re going to get. Here I’ll just offer my thoughts on the new information they gave on the canceled sequels.

Act 1 Scene 1
Setting the Fae Woods
The curtain comes up and the lights focus in on a single figure dressed in a Long Navy and Gold Robe with large sleeves and a Book in their hand they step forward
Narrator - Why Hello there, I should wait for you all to settle as petals upon the water before I open up the book and within it look.
The narrator opens their book and smiles
Narrator - whilst the tale we tell takes place within our present moment here in the Fae Woods - if we are to understand the present we must learn the past - and whilst few can see into the future fewer still can accurately recall the past.

TCH 2 review
If someone followed my posts, you probably know that I love TCH. I love the first book, the world that was buildt and the romance. Kieran is my absolute favourite LI in the choices books. I probably obsess way too much over TCH. It was nice to hear that a sequel was planned. After thinking for a bit and letting book 2 sink in, I belive that TCH 2 had a similar fate and problems than many sequels. First: I do not belive that PB originally planned a continuation of The Cursed Heart. A dark, Fae romance with “BDSM-aspects” was a bit risky for PB, but obviously TCH was profitable enough to get the sequel. Unfortunally many unplanned sequels have a decline in quality. The plot is not as well written and with book 1 the storyline sometimes doesn…

My Thoughts on PB's present and future books
Let me make some things clear: This is not going to be me rambling about the smut induced craze in Choices. I have already written plenty on that. This article will be my thoughts about their next books that do not restrict themselves to smut and smut only. On that note, a few possibilities came to mind as I was rereading their blogs. I shall take into consideration all books that were released or are being released or will be released in 2024 for their reading public.
The books under consideration are -
- The Billionaire’s Baby (fully released) (F)
- Dirty Little Secrets (VIP done, free almost done) (F)
- Alpha (VIP near completion, free halfway) (M/F)
- Cursed Heart 2 (VIP 75%, free 25%) (M/F)
- Ship of Dreams (VIP 75%, free 25%) (F)

Official Game Pitch: Adventure Legends: Rise of a Hero
Hello everyone, this is General Khor. So, I'm sure you've seen how epic Blades of Light & Shadow is, and naturally, this has led me to come up with an epic RPG idea of my own. I've spent months working on it, and now, here it is, the official pitch for the GREATEST! RPG! EVEEEEERRR!
- 1 Character Customisation
- 1.1 Gender
- 1.2 Races (affects initial stats)
- 1.3 Classes (affects stat growth)
- 2 Stats
- 2.1 Base Attributes

- 2.5 Accuracy and Evasion
- 2.6 Temporary Party Members
- 3 Gameplay
- 3.1 Battle
- 3.2 Towns

We can choose to be male or female (naturally)

- Orc: 20% hi…
Blades of Light and Shadow Review Book 1 and Book 2
Blades of Light and Shadow Review Book 1 and Book 2
It has taken a long while, but at a long last, we have come to the end of another era of Choices. PB’s announcement that BOLAS 2 would be the final book which wouldn’t be subjected to a VIP phase makes it the final truly free book to be released by the company. A damn good effort too. The greatest news from the ending of the book was that this would not be the ending of the series. The series will continue, at least for a book 3. There was no information given on the timing of book 3 though. Since book 2 came out 3 years after the ending of book 1, I am not too optimistic of it being released anytime soon. Granted, two years of that were due to COVID, but the earliest I would expect a BOL…
2023 In Review
Hello and welcome to another semi-annual review blog by General Khor. Yeah, this is my first New Year blog, as I was busy yesterday, but still, I remember mentioning that my year end review blogs will be out on 2nd January at the latest, so yeah, I'm still on schedule. Anyway, this review may probably be depressing, but what I'm about to write is all the truth. Now, without further ado, let's get into it.
- 1 State of Choices, 2023 2nd Half
- 2 Reviews for 2023 2nd Half
- 2.1 Getaway Girls
- 2.2 Kindred
- 2.3 My Two First Loves
- 2.4 Untameable
- 3 Conclusion
So as you probably know, last year wasn't the best of years, in fact some, probably most, of you would say it's worse than 2019. Why? Well, besides most books being genderlocked, there's also the single LI wave w…
Crimes of Passion book 2 - A Review
I recently announced the fact that I was planning to put an end to my long readership of PB’s books. It gave me no joy to make that statement, considering the fact that I had loved and appreciated their books for many, many years. This year, they plumbed the lowest of depths with their ‘writing’ which ranged from the horrific to the hopeless. However, there were a few bright spots in between the wreckage of their literary coil. One is BOLAS 2, which I shall reserve for a later blog (I shall analyze it along with BOLAS 1), and the other was COP 2. Kindred never appealed to me, and therefore, I shall simply ignore it and set it aside.
Popular opinion, and pop cultural examples have shown that - it is difficult to make a great work of art, it …
Official Game Pitch: War of the Dead
Hello everyone, this is General Khor. You know how Wake the Dead revolves around building a zompocalypse defense base? That got me thinking, what if we can design our own base? That's right, WtD led me to come up with this idea of a whole game. Think about it, we can opt for a modern style or medieval style base. And I've also found a way to use the stat ideas in my game idea too.
- 1 Food supply
- 2 Fortifications
- 2.1 Modern base armaments
- 2.2 Medieval base armaments
- 2.3 Recommended formation
- 3 Fighters
- 3.1 Modern troops
- 3.2 Medieval troops
- 4 Research
- 5 Zombie types
- 6 Combat and resource gathering
- 7 Inspiration
We'll need food to build and upgrade our farms, food storages and barracks, as well as train troops.

Veil of Secrets Review
Ah, yes. With the current COP 2 being divisive or above average at best in terms of storyline, a recent post on the fandom website regarding the underrated-ness of Veil of Secrets brought up so many memories for me. COP 2 has been all over the place so far. Some of the scenes, especially those that involve the case being solved are quite good. The romantic scenes are awkward honestly. It is a book that has a lot of pieces here and there but doesn’t put them together convincingly enough. Veil of Secrets does not suffer from the same shortcomings. This book is a novelty - It feels and reads like a stand alone book, and the story feels complete by the end. This is also a book that doesn’t focus much on romantic relationships. Much like MW, t…
Revisiting The Elementalists
I set a precedent by writing about some of the best Choices series ever written, and I am going to continue on that path here. I had read the Elementalists a long time ago, as part of a Youtuber's playthrough, since diamonds weren't as easily available as they are now. I had enjoyed the story. I hadn't noticed too many glaring issues, but now that I have finished the two part series, I can talk about the good, the bad and the ugly of the series from a place of authority. I won't be dividing this blog into sections, I as do sometimes - I will simply talk at length about what stood out to me in these two books. I am not considering their holiday special, as it is too short and has little merit when compared to the two fully fledged books tha…
PB’s latest Nadir - first half of 2023.
Sigh, I really didn’t want to write this one at all. It depresses me no end. I started writing this on the 27th of June, 2023, with the upcoming lifeline of COP 2 on the horizon. That book should mercifully end the onslaught of terrible books by PB. That does not forgive the fact that PB’s writing in the first half of the year was a complete disappointment. They disappointed everyone involved. Their long time readers - which includes me, were appalled by the lacklustre books doled out to us. It became crystal clear to the new readers as well, that the company wasn’t doing very well. Almost every book in the first half of the year featured sex crazed MCs, and even more sex crazed LIs. Worse still - every book in this half of the year was a …
Laws of Awesomeness: A Review
Hello and welcome to another review blog by General Khor. So in my mid year review blog, I was gonna include this story, but then I realised, there's a lot to talk about, which is why I bring you this blog today about Laws of Awesomeness. Yeah, I have very good reasons for calling it that, in fact my rating for this series is...
EXCITING!
So why do I give this rating? Let's get into it.
- 1 Overview
- 2 The Plot
- 2.1 Book 1
- 2.2 Book 2
- 3 The Characters
- 3.1 The Official LIs
- 3.2 The Others
- 4 Conclusion
So when fans first saw the title Laws of Attraction, they immediately thought: "They'll definitely focus too much on the Attraction part and neglect the Laws part." In other words, they think the story will make the same mistake as Passport to Romance, which focused too…
5th Choiceversary Blog
Hello and welcome to another semi-annual review blog by General Khor. Five years it's been, and yet I'm still here, and I think it's a great milestone, considering how many players left the Choices community after only a year, or two, or three. Now I know what many of you think of the first half of this year, and I can tell you this, I can agree that Choices hasn't been doing well lately. The Renaissance Era that lasted for the past two years is over, and now we're in the Post-Renaissance Era. And it's not just because of the long list of genderlocked books, there's more to the past six months that made me take a break. Why? Let's get into it.

A Tribute - Revisiting The Crown and the Flame - PB's fantasy zenith
I will not repeat my old arguments about my decreasing interest in Choices as an app. I have documented them extensively in my previous blog posts. Here I will only be talking about another of the crowning glories of the app - The Crown and the Flame series. This series is underrated by most fans, if that is even possible, and the people deserve to know how this story profoundly influenced me and made me fall in love with this app.
In my blog about Most Wanted, I had said that it was either MW or TC and TF book 1 which I read first. However, both were equally responsible for me falling in love with the storytelling. This story isn’t unique by any means. However it really appeals to most readers and especially readers of fantasy.
To put it b…
Favourite Love Interests (Part 4)
Hello and welcome to another discussion blog by General Khor. Yet another round of LI polls has just been concluded, and now, I'll reveal the results. Besides, since I'll be moving soon, I decided to close the polls and write this blog before then. If you haven't checked out my previous LI poll results, it's all here. The books that will be covered in this blog are the last few multi-LI books I've played so far. Now, without further ado, let's get into it.
- 1 Poll Results
- 1.1 LI choice for Rules of Engagement (114 votes)
- 1.2 LI choice for The Royal Franchise (172 votes)
- 1.3 LI choice for The Unexpected Heiress (129 votes)

A Review of Laws of Attraction Book 2
A Review of Laws of Attraction - Book 2
So, another series ends. This time, at the very least, they gave us a two part series. It was certainly a better situation than The Phantom Agent for example, so I am definitely grateful that they gave this series a second book. However, in my opinion, there was still a bit of story yet to be told that they could have given to us readers, but they didn’t. No matter, let’s take what we have in front of us. This book was both better and worse than the first book. Yes, it was both. How was it both? Let me explain.
The Good
LOA 2 was better than LOA for the simple reason that the story became much more personal and connected to the main characters this time around. The idea to introduce elders into the scen…
Ranking the greatest Love Interests (LIs) of PB
I did a comprehensive book ranking some months ago, ranking all of PB’s books until The Phantom Agent. I won’t be doing the same for the LIs. Simply put, many of the books are too brief, and there is no real relationship with any LI in them. Thus, I will be focusing on the top 15 LIs ever written by Choices. However, there are two no. 1s. The reasons are explained below, and I am sure that many of the readers will agree with the two of them. (Keeping in mind that I am a heterosexual man, most (if not all) of my LIs will be females of course). With that out of the way, let’s get started.
- Quinn (ES)
Where do I even begin? This character drew me in instantly. Her backstory is beyond tragic, but her character arc to get her out of this purgatory…
A rough start to 2023 - A review of 2021 and 2022's worst books
A rough start to 2023 - A review of 2021 and 2022's worst books
After a massive return to form in the latter part of 2021 and most of 2022, I was expecting a change in the writing culture at PB. Preferably for the better. I wanted them to boldly step towards writing excellent GOC stories that focused more on characters, universes, plotline, scenes, emotional payoffs, etc. However, this year has already gotten off to an embarrassing start. The only reason this year still remains a year to look forward to - COP 2 and BOLAS 2. The books which preceded the two of these were excellent and were appreciated by all of PB’s reader base. Hence, these are the two sequels which are most vital for the future. However, instead of building on some excelle…
The Phantom Agent - A review
The Phantom Agent - A review
This book was interesting in a variety of ways. It is one of the rare cases where the book feels as if it is written for a male MC more than a female MC (I don’t play as female MCs unless I have no choice. If PB made every single book or at least the vast majority of their books as GOC, then I would probably do so, but considering the present scenario, I see no reason to change my male MC only approach).
This book if explained in two words is - James Bond. Yes. That is all this book is, or attempts to be. However, I have no problem with this approach whatsoever. Why? This is PB’s first spy book, and hence, it was a voyage into unknown waters. They have done a pretty decent job too, all things considered.
The Bad

2022 In Review
Hello and welcome to another semi-annual review blog by General Khor. Yet another year has come to an end, so it's time we look back at the developments in Choices throughout 2022. Now if you ask me, what do I think of the future of Choices, let's just say, it's complicated, because there are some good news and some bad news. I originally planned to cover The Nanny Affair in this blog, but as you saw in my previous blog about the series, there's a lot to talk about, which is why I made a separate blog for it. Without further ado, let's get into it.
- 1 State of Choices, 2022 2nd Half
- 2 Reviews for 2022 2nd Half
- 2.1 The Princess Swap
- 2.2 Slow Burn
- 2.3 Murder at Homecoming
- 3 Conclusion
So as of now, the gender of choice wave seems to have ended with this y…
Favourite Love Interests: A or B Edition
Hello and welcome to another discussion blog by General Khor, and in this blog, I'll be revealing the results for my latest round of LI polls. If you haven't checked out my previous LI poll results, it's all here.
If you're wondering about the title of this blog, that's because all the series that I'm going to cover here have only two LIs, so the choices are just one or the other. I know some of you think just 2 LIs isn't good enough, in case players don't like any of them, but I think as long as we can choose our LI, that's already good enough. That's right, anything's better than having only one LI, for that means no choice at all. Alright, without further ado, let's get into it.
- 1 Poll Results
- 1.1 LI choice for The Royal Masquerade (151 vote…
Most Wanted: My Final Blog Post
I’ll be honest, so much time has passed that I forgot how to make reviews. So I apologize in advance if something seems off if you’ve been a lifelong subscriber.
Most Wanted. It’s all been building up to this. Years of being obsessed with Choices’ two predecessors. The journey of seeing Pixelberry’s evolution since 2013. The very first book Pixelberry made for their current and (as of now) only ongoing product.
(I know Storyloom “exists” but to be honest I have no idea what this thing is)
I literally have not touched this app all year. Not since December of 2021 for that Laws of Attraction review. Making this the first summer I have not read Endless Summer for a tradition. I’m just sad how everything turned out. It was bittersweet revisiting a …
A lookback at Most Wanted
I started Choices way back in August 2016. I had no idea at the time of course, but I must have been one of its earliest players. Along with Star Wars Galaxy of Heroes, which I started on July 26th, 2016, these two games kept me entertained throughout the majority of my five years of college. I generally don't get hooked on to one game or another, but these two were exceptions. SWGOH has fallen out of favour with me. I played it for three years, before closing the book. I opened it again this year, only to realize that I had no longer any love for the game. I shut the book again, probably for good this time around. However, Choices never befell that fate, ever.
Probably the reason that it never got boring was the fact that it kept reinventi…
Bigger bads
From Villains Wiki:
In works of fictions starring many villains, there can be either a main antagonist for each story arc or a Big Bad standing at the top of the hierarchy. In the latter case, however, one (or sometimes more than one) villain even more powerful and influential than the Big Bad himself can be introduced: the aptly-named Bigger Bad, also known as a Greater Scope Villain or Overarching Antagonist. Exceptions aside, the Bigger Bad ultimately has a smaller role than the Big Bad in focus.
However, the Bigger Bad is pretty much the main reason for the circumstances in the story that usually wouldn't be (naturally) possible to occur (pollution, artifact of doom, evil ancient group to which the Big Bad used to belong/is acting as a leade…
The Family Drama Affair: What Could Have Been
Hello and welcome to another review blog by General Khor, and today, I will discuss Choices' first ever mature series, as well as Choices' first ever single LI series. I originally planned to include this in my year end review blog, but then I realised, there's a lot to talk about for this series, which is why I made this blog.
So this story is yet another Typical Romance Trilogy: girl meets boy in Book 1, girl pursues boy in Book 2, girl marries boy in Book 3. Now I know what you're thinking, and yes, it started off as The Nanny Affair, but then, as the story progressed, it felt less and less like one, and by Book 3, the title hardly fits anymore. Why? We'll get into it later. Before we begin, I'll reveal my rating for this series, and that…
Endless Summer Review - PB’s Zenith
I recently completed a comprehensive ranking list of every single one of PB’s books (only exceptions being - The Phantom Agent (which released the day after I published the piece), and all of the Holiday specials, one chapter books, and the short books that weren’t a part of the main story sequence). It got me thinking quite a bit. I realized that PB had never really stepped out of the shadows of two of their earliest series - The Crown and the Flame and Endless Summer. I also felt obliged to talk about them. So, here it is - a comprehensive look back at Endless Summer.
This book was made with love and care, and probably a bit of magic as well. It is one of the most brilliant worlds I’ve ever seen constructed by PB. Honestly, if this book h…
Ranking the books of Choices - A comprehensive list
Here is a comprehensive list of all of the full length books of Choices so far. For a long time, I have been pondering over this article and after a long time, I finally got it done. So here it is - a comprehensive ranking list, explaining my reasons for each of the rankings.

A Thing Isn’t Beautiful Because It Lasts: A Goodbye Filled with Love to High School Story Prime and Hollywood U (HAPPY SIXTH CHOICES’ ANNIVERSARY)
Hello, my fellow Berrypickers. Sorry for not uploading since December 2021. I just haven’t been feeling anything from this studio in forever. I can’t tell what is a new Choices book or something from Romance Club or Chapters (I do not read *any* interactive stories apps anymore. ☹ Sorry guys). But I still unironically like writing these essays. Writing something for the anniversary of Choices has become a tradition for sometime now.
I know I said for the sixth anniversary I’d be writing a Most Wanted review. But something came up. After reading the title, I can bet you already know what happened.
On Friday, July 15, 2022 Pixelberry announced that both High School Story Prime and Hollywood U will both sunset and be taken off both Apple & Andr…
Access to German books from Spanish language Choices
To start with, today I changed the language of the Choices app to Español to play the book 'Entre Costuras' and discovered that it was possible for me to access the books translated into German by accessing the 'Auf Deutsch' section.
However, I have not yet been able to change the language of the app to Deutsch. I can only access German books from the Spanish language app. In the 'Auf Deutsch' section of Choices I have found that there are now four fully published books and one scheduled book:
- 'Sehnsucht & Sittsamkeit Buch 1'; Fully published German translation of the Book 'Desire & Decorum, Book 1'.
- 'Die königliche Romanze, Buch 1'; Fully published German translation of Book 'The Royal Romance, Book 1'.
- 'Die königliche Romanze, Buch 2'; Sched…
My own Choices timeline
This is a list for my own reference because I tend to get confused when other players refer to certain years as I usually forget which book was released in which year. Since I couldn't figure out exactly all release dates from their initial year which started mid-2016, I rather grouped them by season instead of year. I initially planned to keep the list on my profile page but it takes up too much space to stay there so I am moving the information to this blog instead. I mainly used the wiki pages as well as the timeline blogs by Jadelady and Deezy Jay (please correct me if I didn't get the name right) as reference. Dates are sorted by season in chronological order of wide release. Therefore VIP players may wonder why books were released in …

Crimes of passion review
I must confess, I didn’t think PB had it in them to create such a book anymore. The days when their storytelling, craft, characterization, story arcs, endings etc. were at their zenith was a long, long time ago. It is no secret that their absolute peak was 2017-18, a time when their weakest book was probably Lovehacks, which is still an excellent, hilarious read. Their best mystery books were written either in this period or even before - namely Most Wanted (their best mystery to date - Crimes of Passion may dethrone it), Heist : Monaco, It Lives series, Veil of Secrets and the like. Clearly, the writing quality had dropped off since then.
However, this book was a magnificent return to form. After an excellent book in Wake the Dead, they fo…
4th Choiceversary Blog
Hello and welcome to another semi-annual review blog by General Khor. So as of now, I'm entering my 5th year since tuning in to the Choices Channel, and if you ask me if Choices has changed for the better, well...

Access to Choices beta version with French language
To start with, today I uninstalled the Choices app from my mobile phone because it seemed to me that it was not working properly and when I reinstalled it I found that I could choose to change the language to three other languages: English, German and French.
However, I have only been able to switch to English and French, it seems that German is not yet available, although it is already present as an option. In the French version of Choices I have found that there are now four fully published books and one scheduled book:
- 'Chroniques de tapis rouge'; Fully published French translation of the Book 'Red Carpet Diaries, Book 1'.
- 'Désir et décorum, Tome 1'; Fully published French translation of the Book 'Desire & Decorum, Book 1'.
- 'Liés par le san…
Wake the Dead Review
Finally, one of the most hyped books of 2021 is completed. Another project of PB is in the books. The book is only out for the VIPs right now in its entirety, but nevertheless this is still a very good book. As with my previous reviews I will separate the good and bad parts out, and give this one a fair and honest critique.
The Bad
The main problem with this book was that it did not get a second one, or even a third. This was a well developed universe with promising characters and some stunning visuals, and decent theories to build upon for the future books. However, PB decided to cut things short and end the book early, (most probably because the writer either left, got transferred to another project, or plain and simple ended the story due…
Ship or Skip Episode 1 : Across The Void
Hello Everyone and welcome to a new segment on my Blog, Ship or Skip. A series where I give a book my review based on its pros and cons and I'll give them points depending on how good or bad an aspect is. At the end of the day, I'll be tallying the points and see what the result is.
- 1 Rules
- 2 The Book / Series to review
- 3 Ship (The Good)
- 4 Skip (The Bad)
- 5 Final Tally
Here are the rules :
- I have to start from the good side first then the bad side.
- If I judge a character, it has to be his/her/their personality and not the looks because looks are subjective.
- Everything that I point out in this list is My opinion, it's no one else's, so if you disagree then it's not my fault.
How does it work :
I'll be judging the book's aspects based on points, the points are scale…
HSS BOOK 2: CHARACTER REVIEW
- 1 HSS BOOK 2: Character Review
- 1.1 Intro
- 1.2 CHARACTER
- 1.2.1 Emma
Alright guys, in my last article I reviewed book two and now I will talk about the character. Book 1 made a majority of the Berry cast to be nice, peppy, broody and all other high school stereotypes, but with a change of Principal there were a lot of character development and character derailment (Fall).
I will use this as the factor to decide their character in this arc.
In the last book, Emma was introduced as the shy girl next door, and in this chapter she has a minor character development, but still relies . Her arc this chapter was about her family issues at home and working a part-time job to help her mom, but doesn't tell her friends about it and eventually does and that's it. …
You've reached the end
Hi, I'm T L Mazemaker and this is my very first blogpost, I think this is the correct time to make one, I'll be posting many thoughts, ideas, even reviews of many books on Choices : Stories You Play, expect more in the future :)
Peace,
HSS BOOK 2: REVIEW
- 1 HSS BOOK 2 REVIEW
- 1.1 INTRO/RECAP
- 1.2 PLOT
- 1.3 THOUGHTS AND RATINGS
- 1.4 FARWELL
Hello guys, I am back with another review and this time I will be talking about High School Story Book 2. Honestly, this is my least favorite book in the O.G HSS. Now before you kill me with angry comments hear me out. I don't hate this chapter, I still like it but compared to book 1 and 3 this book doesn't hold a candle to them. Now no more talks let's just get into this book.
The plot for this book was crazy to say the least even from the get go. It all kicks off when a leaked footage of Coach Burke and Principal Hughes keeping each other warm on a cold January morning (not in a kid friendly way). This mental scared a lot of kids Michael included.
After that fiasco, I…
The Royal Review Part 3: The Characters
Hello and welcome to Part 3 of my Royal Review blog. So, in the last 2 parts, I talked about the plot of each book, and in this part, I'm going to talk about the characters. Now, without further ado, let's begin.
- 1 The MC
- 2 The LIs
- 2.1 Liam
- 2.2 Drake
- 2.3 Maxwell
- 2.4 Hana
- 3 The Court
- 4 The Villains
- 5 Conclusion
First, let's talk about the MC. She's a very determined person, never bowing to villains who threaten Cordonia and will not rest until they're taken down for good. She's also confident, protective of her friends, her family and Cordonia (especially her family), and also fearless, which makes her one of the most powerful members of the inner circle. Besides, she doesn't take no for an answer, especially when it comes to destroying enemies who get in her …
The Royal Review Part 2
Hello and welcome to Part 2 of my Royal Review blog. So, the reason I split the blog into two parts is that while I was writing about the last book, I found out that I ran out of space, and there's only so much space to write for a blogpost, so now, without further ado, let's begin.
- 1 Book 4 (The Royal Heir 1)
- 2 Book 5 (The Royal Heir 2) (Warning: Spoilers for TRM and other books)
- 3 Book 6 (The Royal Heir 3)
- 4 Book 7 (The Royal Finale)
Every king needs an heir, right? So what happens if we didn't choose Liam? Well, he comes to us and Drake/Maxwell/Hana and asks us to let our child be the royal heir, essentially adopting him/her into the royal family. Well, if I were the MC, I would rather have Liam officially adopt the child, otherwise I'll ask if …
