It is 2022 and Glitter has been out since 2018. I needed a quick entertaining read and I am a sucker for any book that is inspired by the Royalty trope. Glitter has a dystopian feel to it. Imagine if Bill Gates or Mark Zuckerburg bought a historical place, turned it into a independent nation-state (Like the Vatican), then made everyone that resided there act and dress in a specific time period. Oh yeah, annnd everyone is constantly on camera. I classify the book as a Fantasy-Historical/Sci-fi.
I loved that the author made the characters LBGTQ+ inclusive. The story itself was fast paced and kept me entertained. Danica drugs people without their knowledge. This really irked me! The relationship between Saber and Danica seemed rushed and the author could have written a more smooth transition into their tryst. Overall, I will continue to finish the story as I have the sequel, Shattered.
