 It took me a little bit to get into it, but by the 100 page mark I was committed to finishing today. I've never read this book before, but it gave me nostalgia as it very much reads like a fantasy middle grade book from 2012, and I mean that in a good way. This was a fun book, and I look forward to when I can pick up a copy of the next book.

ORPHAN TO PRINCE! READ IT!!!
This book was incredibly intriguing and kept me engaged the entire time I read it! I could hardly put it down! The plot twist was unexpected and a wonderful addition to this already amazing work! Highly recommend!

Despite all the things I chose above the content and way it is portraided would still have me recommending it for 10+.

This was a pleasant surprise. It's perfect if you like books like the maze runner. It reminds me of a lot of fantasy books that are popular right now without over done the magic system.

I enjoyed this somewhat cartoonish depiction of a plot to put a poor orphan on the throne.
