Review: I do not recommend this book.
Rating: 1 out of 5

The lack of proper editing was obvious.  The bad editing could have been overlooked if the story itself was stronger. Some of the scenes were well crafted and the author had a good story premise but then failed to follow-up. The plotting was very weak at times. Numerous and unnecessary domestic scenes bogged down the pacing of the book.  Reading about William reminding Cassandra to eat and sleep once or twice is fine, but having it repeated dozens of times along with overly descriptive passages dedicated to eating and fashion gave the book a more dramatic soap opera feeling.  This book was also not believable as a science fiction love story.  Too many elements that are characteristic of the science fiction genre were missing.  Having the heroine travel on a space ship to another planet is not enough. The appearance of a birthmark as conclusive evidence of royal lineage was not believable to me.  The earth being destroyed for the reason given was literally overkill in the overall structure of the book and made the story unbelievable to me from the beginning. There was something missing in the writing style that prevented me from suspending belief long enough to connect with the story and the characters. I ended up deleting this story from my kindle.
