A review by millah
A Midwinter Prince by Harper Fox

3.25

I enjoyed parts of this book, although some parts made me unsure, like the use of the term gypsy, because I believe many consider that a derogatory term (at least in Norway, maybe it's not the same everywhere). When I started to read, I was also a little sceptical to the whole "rich, privileged guy meets a homeless guy", because I have a hangup that I can't quite explain, but... That didn't bug me too much, the story and the characters pulled me in and kept me interested. The book had some beautiful prose. I liked the vibe of the story, although that same vibe at times made me wonder if it was a contemporary book or a historical one. The vibe felt like historical romance with a prince locked up in a castle. As the story went on, it got a bit heavy on the angst, trauma and miscommunication for my taste. Trigger warnings: trauma, homophobia, previous and current abuse, violence, implied attempt at sexual abuse.
