About this ebook
Prince Allen has trained his entire life to follow in the footsteps of his illustrious mother, who has made their kingdom one of the wealthiest and most influential in the empire. For the past few years he has trained to become the new consort of the High King. The only thing no one prepared him for was the stubborn, arrogant High King himself, who declares Allen useless and throws him out of court.
High King Sarrica is ruling an empire at war, and that war will grow exponentially worse if his carefully laid plans do not come to fruition. He's overwhelmed and needs help, as much as he hates to admit it, but it must be someone like his late consort: a soldier, someone who understands war, who is not unfamiliar with or afraid of the harsher elements of rule. What he doesn't need is the delicate, pretty little politician foisted on him right as everything goes wrong.

Not my favorite book. It was interesting, but there was very little world building. For example, one of the main character's late husband was the one who gave birth to their children. Was he transgender? Is there different anatomy in this world? It wouldn't have bugged me so much except characters brought up the fact that he carried the children constantly. There are other things in this book I didn't care for, and sometimes I wondered if it was just lazy writing. If you're looking for a fantasy book with a lot of depth, skip this one.

I usually like to describe my favorite genre as "fantasy politics", and this book is so perfectly catered to my tastes it's ridiculous. The sheer levels of pining and the ridiculous things that people do when they don't feel respected are all too real, and make for an immensely entertaining book. I was on the edge of my seat for the entire book, and by the end I wanted ten more books just following Allen and Sarrica's domestic life.

The story was good. A bit verbose for my taste. It lacked sufficient world building, and the dialogue between characters felt too modern and redundant. I liked the book.
