I really loved this book! I EXTREMELY liked the main character (Sage) because of his attitude and his rebellious pride. Imogen is the sweetest person ever and I already love her so much. I usually prefer a book to be written in third-person narration but this book (written in first-person narration) was extremely enjoyable! The storyline is excellent and I will definitely be reading the next book.

Such a fun read. It reminded me of a teenage version of GOT.

I first read this book six years ago and come back to it every time I feel stuck. The False Prince is a book that reminds me of all I love about reading. These characters— protagonist Sage especially, Nielsen’s storytelling style, the unraveling of the reveal, are more than anything just fun as hell.

The False Prince disappointed me in some ways. I liked the main character and really enjoyed reading the book in his voice, BUT there was a disconnect somewhere. His voice and the level of the writting seemed to work well together, but the level of violence and some elements of the plot seemed to be aimed at an older reader. I would put the writting at a level which I would give a 9 to 12 yr old, but the level of violence and the character's reaction to that violence bumps it up to something I would give more to the 13+ crowd.
This isn't a huge problem, other than the fact tha I think many of those readers will desert the book thinking it is 'too easy' or predictable without giving it a fair chance.
If you have a reader in your life who likes adventures, isn't turned off by some pretty cold violence, and could use an easy read. This would be the book for them.
I hope that Nielsen continues to write, because even with the issues I had with the book, I want to know what happens to Sage.

Didn't love the writing style. Plot is old and predictable.
