I had been looking forward to Ariella's story from the start of a Daughters of Power The Capital series began. I was really disappointed with the conclusion.

The problem with continuities is that sometimes there are books that can stand alone and sometimes there are books that should not be read separately. This one probably could have been a stand alone (except for the epilogue where every single character reappeared), but since I had read all the previous ones in the series, I was able to spot critical errors that had me questioning whether or not the authors conferred with one another. I couldn't believe that Ariella said in Affairs of State that she found out her father was the POTUS when she read about it in the papers! Anyone who read any of the other books knows that it had already been established that the revelation happened live at one of the Presidential Balls while Ariella was in attendance!!! It was central to the plot of at least two other books in the series.

This book was boring. Ariella was boring. Simon was boring. He was supposed to be an adventurer but they spent their time together antiquing and exploring gardens. His family, save for his brother Henry, were horrid. I couldn't believe how his grandmother the Queen flipped the script so easily at the end. I don't even want to get started with Ariella's mother Ellie. She was afraid of her own shadow. And everything happened so quickly it was somewhat unreal. Had Ariella and President Morrow actually spent any amount of time together and gotten to know one another, then it would have made sense for Simon to ask him for permission to marry Ariella. Because they hadn't, that scene felt out of place.

I wanted to like this book. I expected to like this book. Alas, I barely got through it. If you enjoyed the series, then by all means, read this one.
