rubisbookshelf's review against another edition
5.0
If you´ve been following along you know that A Fierce Princess (part one) left us in a major cliffhanger. A Valiant Prince picks up right where Princess left off. This one is in Logan´s POV and it is just as amazing if not more than Part 1. Logan and Anna´s relationship grows stronger in this part even while their lives fall apart around them. There are so many twists and turns added to the mystery of who is after the royal families that it will keep you guessing. Trust me. I didn´t expect what happened but I´m glad it did. I couldn´t put this book down. I hope there will be more books in this universe because I fell in love with the characters both main and secondary and don´t want to let them go. I highly recommend this duet and will be keeping a close eye on what SE Rose gives us next.

I really enjoyed this a great follow up to the first book, which ended on a cliffhanger so I was so happy to receive his arc. This resolved the unanswered questions from the first book and leaves is with a HEA by the end, it’s a great story, I love Logan and Anna, but I felt sometimes it was over explainedand the reader was told rather than experienced the story themselves and some scenes were just awakened. I think if this were improved it would be even better

Overall Opinion:
To start things off, I didn’t realize this was book II of the The Poisoned Pawn Duet series and for obvious reasons, this wouldn’t be considered a standalone. From page one I was completely lost as to who the characters were, Princess Susanna and Prince Logan possible romantic relationship, and who was out to get them. There were no author notes nor disclaimer stating this, and due to me being unaware the “A Valiant Prince” was the sequel of the “The Fierce Princess”, it was a no brainer that I decided to drop this later to pick it back up later once reading the first novel. From what I have read so far, “A Valiant Prince” seems like a promising read and I look forward to re-reading this back again in the future.

I'm going to leave a scathing review and i'm going to apologize for it.

The blurb was promising, the story was not.
It had so much potential, but i felt it went down the drain with awful writing and plotline.
Every action was described and nothing was left untouched, and there were way too many dialogues.
Alright, maybe the amount of dialogue was fine, however the content was so, so dry. And as well, i felt that too much "he said" and "she said" and similar words of different variations were used. Understandably, yes, it's dialogue, however, the repetition of these verbs makes the writing seem very unnatural.
There are more "telling" than "showing" in here.
Additionally, there were some really awkward lines as well. But, i'm just going to share one.
Exhibit A:Your father, the king, is fine.
The character would know who their father is, and what he does. There wasn't a need to state "the king". The only circumstance why i can think of that makes that excusable is that the doctor is trying to re-affirm himself. Even then, what for?
Frankly, I felt the book was a let down since page one. This boiled down to personal preference, and is especially personal as the prologue was written from the first POV of a child...and I disliked it. It felt like an indication the story wasn't going to be a trip i'm glad i'm going on. Certain lines from this chapter contains vocabulary that a child likely wouldn't use, which results in it coming off a bit bizarre. If it had been told from a third POV, it would've been quite nice.
The smut scenes were quite odd as well, off-putting if you will. Every movement was greatly exaggerated, dicks of steel, explosions, nipple pinch orgasms, i found it rather hilarious. This sort of sexy smut is not up my alley. But hey, if you like it, you do you. And also, you might like this book!
2.5. I'd give it a 1 but i liked the cover and the sexy scenes. Sorry.
