silverscripts 's review for:

A Conspiracy of Princes by Justin Somper
2.0

I knew going in that this was a duology, and I reached the point in the book where I was like "there aren't a lot of pages left, and things keep getting worse and not better." I checked when the book was published (2015) and checked to see if there was a third (there wasn't). And then I finished the book, which ended with everything that could go wrong going wrong. It was set up perfectly to have a third book.

And that's when I learned there isn't one. And that there won't be one.

I'm heartbroken, to say the least. I grew attached to these characters, and I wanted to see their story through. But I'm left with no closure, no resolution. It was really disappointing. I think this book would have made a good sequel, but seeing as it's the last book in the series, it was incredibly unsatisfactory and I can only give it a two.
