The False Prince (Book Review)
Four Boys. One Treacherous Plan. An Entire Kingdom To Fool.
In a faraway land, civil war is brewing. To unify his kingdom's divided people, a nobleman named Conner devises a cunning plan to find an impersonator of the king's long-lost son and install him on the throne. Four orphans are forced to compete for this role, including a defiant and clever boy named Sage. Sage knows that Conner's motives are more than questionable, yet his life balances on a sword's point - he must be chosen to play the prince or he will certainly be killed. His rivals will be devising their own plots as well, so Sage must trust no one and keep his thoughts hidden.
As Sage moves from a rundown orphanage to Conner's sumptuous palace, layer upon layer of deceit unfold until finally, a truth is revealed that may very well prove more dangerous than all of the lives taken together.
Jennifer A. Nielson has woven a heart-racing tale full of danger and bold adventure, lies, and deadly truths that will keep the readers on the edge of their seats.
“In a crowd of a thousand boys claiming to be the prince, there would be only one with the same look of trouble in his eye.”
Like what you just read, this book definitely kept me on edge. The truths, plot twists, and lies you discover in this book are fascinating! I loved reading this book! The main character, Sage, stands out a lot. He's a reckless, troublesome, smart, sassy, and crazy teenager. And wow, the author played his story pretty well. And when you finish the book and you’ve figured out the big secret, you’re left in awe! Sage has such a strong Witt and when you think things aren’t going well, it’s all going to plan for him.
Even though it’s from Sage’s perspective, there’s so much you don’t know about him, and so much he doesn’t tell you. This book had some great characters and some good humour! The book is clean and a good read for any age! The book wasn't anything emotional or deep, but very funny, light, and adventurous! The plot is unique and interesting!
I loved the trio between Sage, Roden, and Tobias. And even though for half of the book they're enemies, their friendship is so good once you get into the next books.
The writing style is simple, and the book isn't too deep or emotional and which might make it seem too simple, and it is a middle school book, but I enjoyed it so much.
Violence. The violence level is pretty light; there is some whipping, but not anything too bad.
Romance. Its primary characters are the four orphan boys, but there is a girl and a very, very light romance. It's not really in the book, and it really doesn't pick up till the other books.
Overall, it's a short and good read! It's a 10/10 book for me. It's one of my top favorite, and I hope it will be yours too.
