A review by lennie_reads
The Princess and The Pawn by Kaitlyn Davis

3.0

I really appreciated getting a link for a free copy of this after finishing 'The Raven & the Dove'. I love a novella but especially if it's free!

So this was ok but I didn't really gain any more insight into the characters. It felt more like this was the original beginning of the book and then the author decided to change it.

The other thing that, to me, didn't really make sense was the fact that Rafe didn't even know he was going to be taking Xander's place until the day before the trials. Surely they should have been prepping and planning for months prior?

This just felt very odd. Especially as the Queen seemed to have so much riding on the outcome, you'd think she'd want an iron clad plan in place. For all she knew Rafe could have refused. Oh well
