I loved this book! The combination of dystopia and royalty was just chef's kiss. The character development was amazing and I loved the descriptions! The romance was also fantastic. I would definitely recommend it! Great to read if you like dystopian storylines, romance, and royalty.

Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Honestly, while I still enjoyed the book, I didn't enjoy it as much as the first, considering that it was a bit slow, and the love triangle was very back and forth. It felt very repetitive, but I understand the purpose it had in leading into the third book. I would recommend it if you plan on reading the whole series and enjoy a love triangle.

Author: Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Genre(s): Romantic, Historical.
Synopsis: The Scarlet Letter follows the life and punishment of Hester Prynne, a woman who lives in Boston during Puritanic times. She committed adultery, which led to the conception of her daughter, Pearl, and is forced to wear a scarlet A on her chest for the rest of her life to remind her and others of her sin. The book follows the fallout of her sin, as well as the effect it has on her husband, daughter, and the man she cheated on her husband with.
Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book was very interesting and I really enjoyed it! It incorporated a lot of symbolism, which was interesting to find and discern. It has older language, considering that it is an older book, and the relationships and religious views written about were very interesting to read. I'd definitely recommend it if you're in the mood for a classic!
