The Hidden Prince by Jodi Meadows
4.0
**Mild spoilers for those who have yet to read The Orphan Queen**
Short, sweet, and simple. This novella tells us of the origins of one of the most captivating characters in the Orphan Queen world, The Black Knife. A vigilante is born from the most unusual circumstances/background...
While reading it I came across things I didn't expect from our budding young prince. He really was a slightly spoiled brat, one who wanted to help and wanted to see the world but was just too scared to step a toe out of line, and his best friend was key in getting him to bust out of his shell and become more. For that I love James, and I hope we get to see more into James' past as well. He is really a character worth exploring so I hope he doesn't spend so much time hiding in the background.
Since this novella is so short, and I don't want to give away any spoilers, I'll leave it at this: If you were a fan of the Orphan Queen, which I was, you must get it. It wasn't what I expected, and that is good. It provided valuable information into the background of Tobiah, information that might just make you love the character even more.
Also, there is a 2 chapter excerpt from [b:The Mirror King|22909838|The Mirror King (The Orphan Queen, #2)|Jodi Meadows|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1432742476s/22909838.jpg|42473707]. Queue the screams... I cannot wait for this title to come out! I think this is also an exclusive excerpt for only those who buy the e-novella (which is currently only at $1.99). I say it was totally worth it. Give me more James, and definitely more Black Knife.
