Prince of the Blood by Raymond E. Feist

3.0

I like Raymond E. Feist's writing, I really do. This one was just a little off for me. I read a reissued ebook version of it, which had additional story added to it, and I strongly encourage reading the updated version. That being said the story seems to lack the "all or nothing" vibe of the other stories that leave the fate of the known universe in the balance. At the same time, it feels like his first attempt at writing a smaller scale story, with more personal stakes. It isn't, the mistress of the empire series was but that was also a co-author type dealio. I dunno. Fun book once you get into it and the main characters stop being such annoying pricks, but you can also be safe skipping it.
