Captive Prince by C.S. Pacat
1.0

This gets one lonely, little, star, based solely on the books political intrigue. As for the rest I honestly don't understand how this book is loved by many and actually recommended to people.

It is racist, is glorifies and fetishizes rape and m/m relationships. Child rape and grooming.

NONE of the characters are likeable. Even the one character, Damen, who I am supposed to like is completely unlikable and hypocritical.

is there something I'm missing that allows others to love this book and these characters with their whole hearts? I honestly don't understand it, all. And I also find it hilarious that many like to criticize authors for lack of diversity, despite trying, yet in the same BREATH will promote this. A book whose plot is a darker skinned character being handed to a white prince as a slave. a sex slave to boot. someone make it make sense.

This ain't it, at all. I honestly have so much more to say but I'm too angry to put it into words. A longer and better review is to come.
