The False Prince
By Jennifer A. Neilson
When I say this book is heart-stopping, I mean it literally!!!
After reading The Lies of Locke Lamora, I have developed a liking for defiant pick-pocket orphans with sharp tongues and super-uber clever minds. Sage is all of the above, and it is impossible not to like him and admire his intelligence.
Sage is presented as a very straightforward character, yet he has so many mysteries and hidden secrets. I really admire the author for being able to conceal his true identity so well in the book. I am ashamed to say that I did not expect who he was at all. I am trying to keep this post spoiler free, but it is pretty hard... I had A LOT of difficulty breathing when I found out who he really was. I was completely in shock and once I found out everything just fell into place. And it felt so right. The layers and layers of lies are all so intrictly weaved together it successfully masked the truth.
I was extremely excited when I saw that The False Prince is part of a Trilogy, which means we will get more of Sage(aka *****). I hope the second book is as great as the first one!
Oh! And I think the cover is nice, the broken crown and the blue background just reminds me of Sage and his story and background. I guess before you read this book you shouldn't go look for spoilers or anything, it is best if you just read it, and read it NOW. Only then will you feel the full impact of the story! I couldn't put it down! It is such a great book, definitely worth reading!!!
