A review by bashsbooks
Prince's Gambit by C.S. Pacat

dark emotional mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

In a rare twist, I prefer this sequel to the original. I enjoyed the development and deepening of Damen and Laurent's relationship. I felt that the writing was fuller and more mature stylistically. And I felt that the stakes were raised and plot twists were revealed in a way that felt well-considered and deliberate. 

Also, the sex is hot and emotionally intense.
