When a series geared towards MG audiences features a protagonist far more grey than the average YA hero, well…shit, I’m sold. – Romance is a bit of instalust and/or love triangle but is not the focus at all. – The protagonist walks around with a a witty “better than you” swagger. Likability factor depends on the readers opinion on grey characters that aren’t “good” for the sake of being a hero – World building may not be descriptively vibrant if you’re used to intricate magic systems etc. – Low fantasy featuring historical/medieval undertones (no magic or anything as of now) and a politically driven conflict – Competitive premise tautly written page-turning narrative and palatable action sequences Should this book be picked up? the tl dr review: (re: Goodreads The False Prince by Jennifer Nielsen) But Sage’s rivals have their own agendas as well.

To unify the divided people, Conner, a nobleman of the court, devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king’s long-lost son and install him as a puppet prince.
