The False Prince
by Jennifer A. Nielsen
3.5 stars
I saw this book being compared to The Queen's Thief Series. Truthfully, it is totally different. Sage is not similar to Gen. At all. In fact, I refuse to acknowledge anyone saying they have similar personalities. Both of them are smart and is very good at manipulating the situation into something that could benefit them, that's true. But that's where the similarities end. Because Sage is insufferable while Gen is witty and charming.
I don't know whether Sage was being purposely difficult because of the circumstances he was in or what but I did not want to root for his character. I somehow predicted where this book was going because one of my favourite tropes in fantasy is 'someone unimportant suddenly revealing that they are, in fact, important'. I usually enjoyed when the revelation happen despite having predicted it but because Sage is not particularly likable, it's hard to witness his rise to power lol
