The Prince Without Sorrow by Maithree Wijesekara
3.5
I’ll be honest, I struggled on what to rate this book. I almost DNF several times at the beginning of the book because I was just bored and it was not capturing my attention the way I thought it would based on the overview. The plotline felt like it was a little stagnant and took longer than expected to get to the point where things were happening. That said, I am glad I stuck through it because after a certain point it got exciting.
I enjoyed the political intrigue and the sibling dynamics. I think Shakti’s POV was more difficult for me to get into, and I believe it’s because a lot take places in a mind/dream/spiritual realm for her. However they got more entertaining as the story went. Ashoka has an interesting character arc and I’m definitely in dredged in seeing how that develops.
I do wish this were a standalone novel or duology rather than a trilogy, but I’ll be continuing when the next book releases either way. I’m very curious for some answers after the ending.
