The False Prince. Read 2-14. Reviewed 2-16.
This book will shock you when you try a sample. It has become my favorite book/series and, in my opinion, better than Harry Potter.
PLOT – It was appealing, caught me right on, and hooked me until the end. I loved how a lot of royalty came into play. I learned a lot. I also liked the goal which was to impersonate an orphan as a former prince. Hooked me.
CLIFFHANGERS – Amazing cliffhangers, the amount of them makes you keep reading. The important thing is that the QUALITY of the cliffhangers was nice. Amazing!
SURPRISES – The surprise at the end (which I won’t reveal) was appalling. Not in a bad way. It was the perfect way to make sure the reader will go onto number 2 in the series. A good amount of surprises.
CHARACTERS – Nielsen’s characters are rich. They are 3D and you can feel their feelings inside of you. Even more, if you get the Audible Version. It feels like you are inside Farthenwood, staring at the characters.
COMBAT – I loved the swords and all the combat. It made the story very original and exciting. I am also astonished by how the author wrote the combat. Very descriptive and intriguing.
RATING OUT OF 100 – I’m going to give this a 99/100. No book can be perfect. But, it was the best!
Favorite book ever!!! One of the best lot twists I’ve ever read!
I have never read such a good book and hope that others will enjoy it as much as I did.
I love this book it has drama mistery orphans princes the one thing wrong with this book is the amount of abuse
This is one of those books that I recommend all the time! It’s great for a variety of ages, and has a little bit of everything. Plus Sage is just so funny–I love his voice 🙂
I love this book! This is one of the first books that introduced me to fantasy and I recommend it to readers 8-13 yrs old. Its such a interesting story, I read it in one day. The end has an amazing plot twist and the next two books that follow are just as good! A must read!
