Kings Rising (Captive Prince, #3) by C.S. Pacat

SUMMARY

Damianos of Akielos has returned.

His identity now revealed, Damen must face his master Prince Laurent as Damianos of Akielos, the man Laurent has sworn to kill.

On the brink of a momentous battle, the future of both their countries hangs in the balance. In the south, Kastor’s forces are massing. In the north, the Regent’s armies are mobilising for war. Damen’s only hope of reclaiming his throne is to fight together with Laurent against their usurpers.

Forced into an uneasy alliance the two princes journey deep into Akielos, where they face their most dangerous opposition yet. But even if the fragile trust they have built survives the revelation of Damen’s identity—can it stand against the Regent's final, deadly play for the throne?

MY REVIEW

‘Did you think,’ said Laurent, ‘I wouldn’t recognise the man who killed my brother?’

Obviously the book title is a spoiler itself. But if the book was a film, I would probably spend the majority of it with closed eyes behind a pillow unable to watch.

What can I say? It is the best haters to lovers story I have ever read. And one of the best fantasy stories I have ever read.

It is
-well developed
-believable and definitely
-re-readable (Especially when you know how incredibly it ends)

Laurent I LOVE YOU!
Damen I LOVE YOU!

I wish you could make a baby...
