![]() ![]() You can find the Goodreads for Captive Prince here!Īfter being a little unsure about the first book, I ended up loving Prince’s Gambit! I loved that politics and military strategy were a big part of this book. It’s obvious that Pacat did a lot of research before writing. ![]() ![]() Nothing is graphic and so you could easily skim over that part and not miss much from the story. I was a little disappointed in this first book, but kept reading the series because the story really intrigued me. I felt like the plot needed a little more time to develop. The main characters were interesting and I loved the two very different societies. This series is about slaves, and so there are scenes in which non-consensual acts take place. I enjoyed Captive Prince and loved that it was such an easy read, although it was quite short. I thought this would be the perfect chance for me to do a spoiler free series review here on blog! I hope you enjoy. Pacat, the third book in the Captive Prince trilogy. This week I finished reading Kings Rising by C. ![]()
