It doesn’t matter how many times I read this, I still love MazKenzie and William’s story. I mean, they’re kind of the major catalyst for a lot of change in this series. But also, they are just funny and cute. I particularly related to MacKenzie this time around – being a single mum and trying my best to do what is good and right for my kids.
One of my favourite things about this couple is the way that William so willingly steps aside to let MacKenzie grow. He doesn’t pressure her or suffocate her, rather, he chooses to give her the space to come into her own power. Don’t get me wrong, I’d be annoyed in MacKenzie’s shoes – he doesn’t consult her. But, I also like how he knows the powerhouse she can become, without hesitation or doubt.
As I mentioned, I really related to MacKenzie as a single mum. And I adored how well she raises her daughter and prioritises her wellbeing abo e everything else. Yes, she’s a working mum, but she never let’s her daughter forget that she is loved and prioritised. I now know from experience that that’d not an easy feat, and it made me love her all that much more. Plus, she’s just a fierce Mumma Bear which is freaking amazing.
I might kind of dislike the term Null and Void to describe MacKenzie, but it did work really well. It perfectly describes how the stereotypes and judgements that MacKenzie experiences impact her everyday life. And, as with everything in the Royal States series, is a great commentary on how racism, sexism, and all the facets in between can seriously impact our society. In the most negative way.
