The Last Prince by E.G. Radcliff

5.0

I finally managed to finish this book, it being the prequel to The Hidden King, and I love every aspect of it. It’s a mix of LGBTQ+ and YA fantasy that was brilliantly written and led to a variety of emotions throughout.
I fell in love with the characters when I read the first book, and reading this only strengthened that love I have for them. It provided more of a backstory into the lives of both the main characters, with the story following Ninian’s life, how he met Áed, and the development of their relationship.
It showed their relationship evolving, with them helping the other to heal, and eventually bringing Ronan into their lives together. However, the book isn’t focused solely on their relationship, and seeing the adventure and danger the characters have both been through makes the story as a whole both more tense and intriguing.
Knowing what happens in the first book made reading this so much more painful, yet I’d happily reread it over and over again. I love it so much and I recommend.
