One of my favorites ever.
Loved the characters; loved the twists and turns. This is one of those great reads that appeals to both kids and adults.
I think that this book is so mysterious in away and I can not wait to start reading the others The Run Away King
This is one of my favorite books I’ve read it at least 50 times.
Sage is a true trouble maker and is fun to see how he tricks everyone.
The False Prince made me want to keep reading it and I didn’t want to put the book down.
I loved this book! It was so good it made me want to buy the other 2 books, which probably will be twice as good, or, give me the same emotions that this book did. It was so good, I wanted to savor the book and let it seep into my soul, so I read it the least I could but at the same time I wanted to read it! It was just amazing!
This book has one of my all-time favorite characters: Sage. He’s great. Funny, smart, and unpredictable. I LOVE this entire series.
One of the best books I have ever read. 100% recommend this book. The other books after this one are wonderful and I would also recommend you read those as well.
(May contain spoilers). This book had some twist to it. I listened to it, actually, and thought Charlie McWade did a great job narrating. I’ve read the second book as well, but even if I hadnt, I could probably tell you that any situation Sage gets into, he’ll most likely come out on top and win (even if that requires losing). You might say that …
This is one of my absolute favorite books, I recommend it to anyone looking for a new tale. If you like secrets and twists mixed with kings and rivalries turned friendships (and vice versa), the False Prince is for you! I’ve reread it twice and adore the rest of the series. Take the time to experience the kingdom of Carthya and the secrecy and …
It was amazing because sage has a secret that will bind everything together
This is my favorite book and I highly recommend that everyone reads this book. I personally have read this book over 10 times and plan to read it many more. It is the first book in the series so you’ll most likely want to read the other two books in the series (they are great too). this is also my favorite author so I recommend reading more of her …
Great start of a trilogy for middle schoolers.
Definitely a page-turner. The author did a beautiful job on the plot; it’s always unpredictable and everything fits together like a puzzle. Absolutely wonderful!
I was immediately hooked on this story and couldn’t put it down! The author does a great job developing the characters and making you root for them until the end m . Plus, there’s a great twist that isn’t too easy to figure out. Read this book! You’ll love it.
The False was a fun and exciting read! When I thought I had things figured out, a twist came and turned things upside down! I definitely recommend this book to all!
This is a series I’d heard about off and on. So, when I saw it available at the local virtual library I thought, “what the hey, let’s give it a shot.” It’s got royalty, subterfuge, and some snarky characters, so there’s a lot of potential here.
And … it’s a gender-bent Anastasia.
The Story
I’m not kidding. The story itself is a close …
Loved this series! I read this with my son and he loved the story and characters! Such a great intelligent series for middle grade readers and high school, actually anyone who loves a well crafted story. There is no language or inappropriate material to be worried about!
False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen is a very well-written book. The pacing is crisp, the characters well-defined, the plot intricate and tight, and the prose engaging. It’s one of the most original stories I’ve read in quite some time.
The story follows the misadventures of a miscreant orphan named Sage. His surly, magpie ways get him into one …
The twists keep coming in this new series by Jennifer Nielsen. I can’t wait until the next book comes out.
