Captive Prince

takenbythesky shared a tip "this series is some of the most riveting political intrigue and solid world building I've ever encountered, which is where my attachment lies. I read all three books within three days my first time through. I won't argue for its overall excellence; the diction is inconsistent and awkward in places, there's a ton of gratuitously graphic sexual assault, and the deuteragonist is extremely overpowered. this last point is forgivable to me since it makes the series so very fascinating, though"

mia_cabrera shared a tip "I have never read a book with a plot quite like this but I still really enjoyed the story, there was action, deception, and romance which I always love. Trigger warning: this book contains some topics such as assault and rape that may be sensitive to some readers"

joniness shared a tip "This is the gold standard of enemies to lovers that I (unfairly) compare everything else to. I reread this series every year and still find new things I didn't notice before. It's honestly criminal that this has basically no chance of being adapted into a tv series because of the mlm romance. I really want to see Akielos and Vere on the screen."

marissa_zambrano shared a tip "I legit read this without stopping. Immediately you’re submerged into action and it doesn’t let up. I believe this is the first ACTUAL enemies to lover book that I’ve ever read as well as the S L O W B U R N! There’s constant tension and the dialogue- Laurent is, imo, the most perfect man. The second book is phenomenal and i think this book really sets up the storyline for it."

felix_beaudry shared a tip "I found it very easy to get swept up in this book. The main characters are complicated and it touches graphically on many really challenging subjects. It’s adventurous but lust and the tension between the main characters is woven into every part of the story."
