Ooh!!! Things are happening!! This is one of those political fantasy books where you don’t see any of the political machinations until the very last second. And it’s fantastic!! I love the way Laurent’s mind works and all the little things that he’s doing in secret that have huge repercussions later. I also loved that Damen is slowly coming to realize that there is so much more going on under the surface, both with Laurent and the political landscape that he never knew was there. There is just so much going on and what you think is happening might actually be something else completely. It’s such a fun ride, and the ending??? Didn’t see that coming, but I probably should have. Anyway, Prince’s Gambit is getting five stars!

Really glad I stuck with this series! Book 2 really ups the stakes and I’m excited and terrified to see how it all plays out in 3

So maybe I just dislike the first book in any trilogy CS Pacat writes, because I ate up this book like friggin’ candy .
