A review by astrozombies
Prince's Gambit by C.S. Pacat

adventurous dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

2.5

a MARKED improvement over the first book. however, as i cannot remove it from the context of that terrible first book (and this one contained its own… questionable moments…), i can’t justify rating it any higher
though i did appreciate that the author at least started trying to make things meaningful here, as opposed to the first
