The Traitor Prince by C.J. Redwine
4.0
Javan Najafai, the crown prince of Akram, broke my heart. Sent away to school at a young age after his mothers death, he spent years trying to live up to her dying wish and his fathers expectations. When his graduation comes and his father doesn't show, Javan feels lost and is left wondering if his father even still cares. And then some attempts to take his life.
This is the story of a false prince of sorts. Javan is taken and thrown into a prison in his own city while an impostor sits next to his father, ready to take the thrown from an ailing king. Javan must try to find away out of the prison and to his father - not only to save his father, but to save his kingdom.
I am loving this series. Each book stands on their own but also fit together to create this full world with kingdoms that come alive. We've met dragons, witches, fae, elves and humans. The Traitor Prince is no different. I loved Javan and his heart. I felt his pain and disappointment and his loneliness. And also his heartache. His strength was set in his devotion to his father and his people. This wasn't just a story about trying to reveal the false king, it was a story about a boy growing into the man who will rule. And I was here for it!
Redwine continues to keep me invested in this series and I cannot wait for the next one to come out - I've heard it's a Cinderella of sorts. If you love fairy tale retelling, check this series out.
