For readers who like adventure fantasy, this book is a must try. The Red Prince is more of epic fantasy comparable to the genre of Lord of the Rings and A Game of Thrones. And you know what, I gave up reading the first few pages of those legendary books LOTR and GoT. I'm not saying they're not good. It's just that, their style of writing is out of my taste. They're tiring to read. I highly respect George R. R. Martin and J. R. R. Tolkien, I know their books are really good based from many user reviews, It's just that, I just can't, reading their books is not really me. Okay, I admit, I'm lazy to read their books and that's why I just opted to watch the film and TV versions which I really like. Perhaps I must try reading them again in the future.
If I gave up reading GoT and LOTR so where I'm going here for the Red Prince? I almost turn down the author but as I've read the first chapter of the book, I'm hooked. It's not as hard as GoT or LOTR read, The Red Prince is actually relaxing to read. The choice of words is good and I also like the character development of the champions from the various Kingdom of Unibeltrasia.
I like the twist of events although the story is quite predictable, I truly enjoyed the plot through the end. Actually, the ending made me anticipate the next book more. I expect the next book to be more promising and more answers should be revealed in the sequel.
If they can fully publish an actual book, I suggest to the author to add a map in the opening page or end page, add a sort of glossary and also make the front cover design more catchy. A little illustration per chapter would be great too!
I'm rating this book: 3.8 / 5.0

The Red Prince sounds like a good alternative to the lengthy other titles by Tolkien (though I think he is genius!)... the movies are of course incredible and unparalleled. Sounds like you've found a good read for the season!
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely book review....First time heard of this book... 2.99 is kind of worthy for a book like this.. Let's read it up!
ReplyDeleteI'm a big time fan of GoT, but haven't even watched the film of LoTR! Good to know this is a lighter version of these harsh, violent stories!
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting book to read. I am a book lover and I will definitely add this in my book list to shop. I am looking forward to read this book soon.
