** spoiler alert **
           I was intrigued by the storyline for the main character through the first few chapters until numerous problems started to show themselves. 

1. The writing is just sloppy. Fire your editor and hire a new one. There should not have been that many spelling errors and grammatical mistakes in a finished copy.

2. The storyline had ADHD - One moment you are wrapped up in the heroine, the next it randomly jumps to one of the princes, then there is smut, then it's back to angsty teenage stuff. It's like the authors had trouble picking and sticking to a genre.

3. Huge holes in the story. Time just disappears... and the ending? 

This was an interesting first draft of what could be a great YA series if its sent back to the drawing board and the story has some more meat to it.
