Review - Kings Rising by C. S. Pacat

My rating:

Damen and Laurent are ready to risk everything, including their lives and their newfound relationship, to get their kingdom’s back. Perhaps the biggest risk of all is Damen’s true identity, which was on the verge of being revealed at the end of the previous book, Prince’s Gambit. After the previous installment ended, it seemed like all the plot lines were coming together and I thought I had a good idea of how this last book might play out.

Review - Prince's Gambit by C. S. Pacat

My rating:

Kindly note: This is the second volume in a tightly linked series. If you haven’t read the first book, you may find a few spoilers in this review of the second. Damen and Laurent lead a rather rag-tag group of soldiers towards the border, where they know Laurent’s uncle the Regent has something in store to get rid of the troublesome prince. As their fate draws nearer, the two men gain a new respect for each other, and their feelings for each seem to be harder and harder to contain.

Review - Captive Prince by C. S. Pacat

My rating:

While his father the king lays on his deathbed, Crown Prince Damen is seized by troops loyal to his half brother Kastor, who seizes the throne. Rather than simply kill Damen, Kastor packs him off to be a pleasure slave at the court of Vere, traditional enemies of Damen’s people, with whom Kastor has made peace, for now. If anyone in Vere realizes who he is, Damen will be dead. Until then, he has the humiliation of being a slave to deal with.
