Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Captive Prince

This series is apparently quite notorious! And I can see why - it definitely doesn't ascribe to conventional and "appropriate" interpersonal and sexual dynamics. The worldbuilding is designed solely for horny reasons, which I love, and the plot is interesting enough to keep my attention, which I appreciate. I think that the Pascat's writing style is a bit underdeveloped, but it works fine enough for what this book aims to accomplish.

Es un muy buen libro. No tiene ningún momento aburrido, y se lee super rápido.

La trama es muy interesante y me recuerda un poco a "el principe cruel" por las intrigas políticas. Este primer libro no tiene romance pero igual disfrute las interacciones entre los protagonistas.

Tiene muchas TW así que les recomiendo revisarlas antes de leerlo.

This reminded me of reading fanfic back in the real wild west days, in both the good and the bad ways. This is a real "dead dove do not eat" so look up the cws for sure. If you didn't understand that sentence then you should not read this book probably!

Aside from the often gratuitously horrific SA happening in this book, the political intrigue is really quite well done. The reader has enough info to generally figure things out ahead of the protagonist if they're paying attention. I'm hoping the next book has the shock value dialed back several notches and more of the good stuff, because I think there's potential here.

Read the context warnings it’s not made for everyone so keep that in mind.
It’s not a bad book- it’s set up really nice.
Plot is interesting and the characters have motivation and that is what drives the story more than anything. For that reason I will be reading the rest hopefully they are not all this explicit and graphically vulgar.
I’m not gonna rate (so that my singular opinion doesn’t bring this book down cause again it is good it’s just preferences) or add the LGBTQ+ tag only because it is almost all non-con.
