5. Like earlier books in this series, Kings Rising had my rapt attention from beginning to end This book was action packed and full of emotion It broke my heart, only to piece it back together slowly I loved every minute This book sees both Damen and Laurent fighting to reclaim their kingdoms Despite their differences, the two are forced into a tenuous alliance They need one another, if either of them hopes to succeed This makes for plenty of emotional highs and lows along the way as the two attemp [...]

7. No rating For now Up until the 80% mark this was five stars all the way But that endingI feel like I should add here, so I will If I were forced to rate this now, based on the series as a whole, this would be a solid four stars I guess what I m saying is don t let this review concern you or keep you from reading these books This ending is perfectly satisfactory For most books But after the level of brilliance in the second one in this series, it just can t compare It was too neat Too tidy Toobl [...]

8. Dear Author,First of all I would like to compliment you on book 1 and 2 of this saga, because they not only were written exceptionally well, they also bespoke of an acute, detail oriented, forward thinking mind Unfortunately, these are also the reasons behind my poor rating while your writing ability remains intact, the carefully planned strategies you had shown us in the past two books quite simply disappear, and are replaced by sheer luck SPOILERS AHEADChapter two Laurent wakes up bound to a c [...]

12. No rating so far, possibly forever I AM TOO CONFUSED.Involvement I just binge read the three books in two days I m pretty sure that it speaks for itself If not, DUH, these books are addictive than Nutella Exhilaration You can t even imagine how deep I fell for Laurent Give me a tortured, complex end borderline psycho heart, I ll be intrigued Add a twisted and convoluted mind, I ll lose my breathe Make him genuinely smile and I ll love him forever God, how he made me laugh I adore him and I MISS [...]

14. Disclaimer This is a combined review of all three books because I had to read everything in one go else, I wouldn t survive.My first thought after I slightly recovered heavy emphasis on slightly from the Captive Prince magic was, This deserves a movie series And, Why isn t there a movie series yet Deviantart by chiihunBecause no series is this vividly detailed yet deceptively good From the onset, Pacat had created this intricate web so perfectly woven and exquisitely crafted that you just can t [...]

17. Laurent of Vere They say you re frigid They say you rebuff all your suitors, that no man has been good enough to prise your legs apart I believe you thought it would be brutish and physical, and maybe a part of you even wanted it that way But you and I both know that Damen does not make love like that He took you slowly He kissed you until you started to want it Laurent said, Don t stop on my account You let him undress you You let him put his hands on you They say you hate Akielons, but you let [...]

18. After reading this final installment, I didn t feel like writing a review because I realized I had very little nice to say about it The writing itself is great, as far as style goes and there was not a moment where I felt bored It sure kept me at the edge of my seat, however, not in a good way Most of the book, I ve found myself frustrated, hastily reading to reach a point where my hopes would be fulfilled and I could go, Yes Finally justice Alas, that moment never came I have to say, this book [...]

20. 1 Captive Prince 2 Prince s Gambit 3 King s Rising Spoilers ahead for the first two books A kingdom, or this.Holy hell I was not ready for this series to end What I wouldn t give for a fourth book, even if it was just full of domestic fluff and precious, tender little moments I would pay good money for a limitless supply of Laurent s wicked snark and Damen s kindness When I began this series, I never could have guessed that it would mean so much to me I expected a fun, dramatic romance, but I go [...]

21. I ve been meaning to read this trilogy for a long time and now, finally, I ve read all three books back to back This will be a quick review of the trilogy as a whole My overall impression was positive But I was surprised by a couple of things I ve expected this fantasy to have, well, fantasy This felt a bit like like Game of Thrones pumped full of testosterone and minus the dragons Or magic Ok, forget it, it wasn t like GoT But there was a battle for the throne or two and it felt like most char [...]

24. Damianos of Akielos has returned My name is Norah and I officially say that this is my favourite love story damn right it is of all time How can you read about Laurent and Damianos and not cry of pain and happiness at the same time How can you finish this book without lying in pool of your own tears Damen not ever doubting Laurent and Laurent thinking that there aren t those who would fight alongside him or even for him And that ending I thank God every day that C.S.Pacat decided to publish thre [...]

26. The first third of this book was 5 stars Laurent and Damen as we ve come to know and love them Laurent with his mind like a nest of scorpions, juxtaposed by straightforward and honorable Damen, who can read him so well It s dramatic, it s complicated and it s heart warming, this first third In the second third the niggles of doubt started to set in I honestly don t mind suspending disbelieve in a romantic fantasy novel, but it was starting to get strained Both men are crowding into superhero ter [...]
