Pacing is very fast, almost concerningly so, but an unexpected twist kept my attention. Julius seems interesting. I like Alek with his determination and second lead-ness, but his brother Aaron could come off creepy, real “I’m a nice guy” vibes. Freya cries a lot, but she changes into the prince persona like a charm. I don’t believe she’s that good of an actor, so it feels so out of character for her to look confident so easily.
Very little is explained here, so the worldbuilding feels nonexistent. Because it's the first volume, I'm going to let the jerky pace and the lack of strong character personality (i.e, flatness) slide. I don’t know about this series, but I’ll read volume 2.
