I didn’t dislike this but I didn’t form a connection to one of our 3 main characters which was a problem when it was his chapters because I just didn’t care. We got a lot of Rafe and Lia and found their connection more believable but Kaden always felt like an ancillary character. I did enjoy the mystery of who was who in terms of Kaden/Rafe. Who was the prince and who was the assassin? When I found out I was genuinely surprised! It ended on a fun cliffhanger so I’ll be reading the next and hoping to connect more with Kaden in the next
