The best way I would describe this book is a Filipino inspired fantasy of the princess diaries. The main character MJ is aware that she is encanto royalty, but she grew up in the human world and was not really expecting to ever be queen. Overall the book does seem like it is geared toward young readers. It was really fast paced and it was pretty short, right around 300 pages. The main romance between Lucas and MJ is cute, but is a little bit rushed. They go from seemingly hating each other to having a crush on each other within what seems like no time at all. It technically wasn’t Insta love, but it definitely did seem like it a little bit. The plot overall is pretty simple; there’s a mystery that Lucas and MJ have to solve to find the villain. This book was definitely not anything crazy, but if you’re looking for a cute, fun read inspired by Filipino mythology, this is the book for you.
