2nd read:

Prince’s Gambit was an instant 5/5 stars for me (and still remains so on re-read). I don’t know how to describe other than it being like, the catching fire of this trilogy lmao. I love the lean in to the adventure genre, the journey, the slow burn between DL, I had never cared for battle scenes and political intrigue (in anything) before this book but it does it so well. I was so invested in everything! Damen and Laurent are such intelligent characters (also facing off a very intelligent and terrifying POS villain) that being along for the ride with all of the scheming and reveals is fun. I really love that Damen is this honourable hero archetype— I’m obsessed with the way his physical prowess gets depicted like yes, king throw that two-handed long sword like a javelin AND hit your mark 😫 but also how observant and emotionally intelligent he is?? Imagine being that put together 😭
