chocolatepot: The bodice of a woman, from a painting by Caravaggio (Caravaggio)
Just devoured this book that's been in my Kindle library for ages - The False Prince, by Jennifer A. Nielsen. I don't read much if any YA anymore, but you know that I LOVE a story about royal succession, so I had to.

I don't know if this counts as a spoiler, but I guessed the major plot twist from the summary of the book, and then when I started reading it, if I hadn't already I definitely would have, because Nielsen is clearly very influenced by Megan Whalen Turner. To the point where I almost have to call the book an homage to The Thief?

okay I'll put the spoilers under a cut )

Still, I am psyched to read the sequels, particularly to find out what will happen to Imogen, pls make Imogen become the queen pls Jennifer.
