Buongiorno! Il teaser di oggi è tratto da un libro che aspettavo di leggere da un po’, la conclusione – e questa volta per davvero – di una delle serie più trash della storia delle serie trash. Non che questo mi abbia mai fatto pensare di abbandonarla a metà, anzi. Si tratta di The Crown, il quinto volume della serie di Kiera Cass: The Selection.
I smiled. “Well, you tell a lot of horrible jokes, Dad.”
He nodded. “What can I say? I’m a man of many talents. But that’s almost as hard to take: when she goes back to being queen, I need to go back to being king. And I don’t know when I’ll get another week like this, where it’s just her and me.”
“So, what if she didn’t?”
He squinted. “What do you mean?”
“Well …” It had been circulating in my head since the town hall meeting yesterday. I’d probably never be able to help all my people, but I could reach a few. That thought thrilled me more than I imagined possible. And, at the very least, I could help my parents, which recently started feeling like a monumental accomplishment. Still, as the words came out, I knew they were pure insanity. “What if she wasn’t queen anymore? What if I was?”
Dad stilled, staring at me in disbelief.
“I don’t mean it as an insult,” I stammered. “I know you’re fully able to lead … but you’re right. Mom’s going to want to go back to the complete role of being a queen. If I was queen, she’d have to do something else.”Ch. 15 – THE CROWN (The Selection #5) di Kiera Cass
