Prince's Gambit: Captive Prince Book Two (The Captive Prince Trilogy, Band 2)

Guilty pleasure #2

Slowest slow burn überhaupt, aber so so gut. Plus politische Intrigen und ein paar unvorhergesehene Wendungen. Liebs, die Reihe alle paar Jahre für einen Reread auszupacken.

Slow-burn as its finest! In Teil 2 geht es direkt spannend weiter. Wir haben ein tolles und nicht zu komplexes Worldbuilding mit politische Intrigen und unvorhersehbaren Wendungen. Dazu zwei Protagonisten, die noch immer verfeindeten sind, aber für das Wohl aller auf ihre ganz eigene Art zusammenarbeiten. Für mich ein gelungener zweiter Teil!

This was for sure my favorite book in the series

Full of secrecy, strategies and war…this is one of the most intriguing slow burn love stories I’ve read in a while!

I know that this kind of story isn’t for everyone but if you accept it by comparing it to Game Of Thrones but simpler, gayer and without fantasy…it’s amazing! This book was so much better than the first one. The action, the war, the planning, the strategies together with a slow burn romance were very intriguing. I was on the edge of my seat the whole time and couldn’t stop reading which is why I just have to give props to Pacat and 5 stars to this book.

This is the one where they fall for each other

Ich bin soooo gefesselt von dieser Geschichte. Woooow Ich liebe wie sich Damon und Laurent so langsam näher kommen und es nicht alles zu schnell zwischen ihnen geht. Das Ende? Wooooooow. Ich hatte so gänsehaut. Ich liebe einfach Intriegen und Verrat in Büchern, deshalb ist das einfach perfekt. Ich habe jetzt schon angst, dass es zu schnell vorbei ist.

I‘m reading this for the relationship and the relationship only. The fluff is PHENOMENAL. Die Vertrautheit zwischen Damen und Laurent bringt mein Herz zum schmelzen. Jetzt fühle ich mich sehr lonely. Schade, dass so viel unnötiges hin und her zwischendurch ist

W O W I am speechless. I love these characters so much. Please can I have my own Damen and my own Laurent? Review will be up soon!

4.5 stars, really.

I swear this book killed me! So many emotions trampled, so many feelings..!!! How is it that a book like this can do this to a person? It got me smiling, and laughing and broke my poor heart and left me confused! What the hell! It was a great book, I've fallen for the story and characters in only a few lines; this book especially was the unravelling of the two main characters. That was quite beautiful to read, the growing trust and friendship, the love slowly flourishing between then. I felt every second of Damen's heartbreak, every second of Laurent's careful vulnerability and it was a very pleasing and beautiful book to read! I couldn't love it more, it is one of my favourites! Update 14.10.2018 I don't think I can add to my last review. This book was beautiful, you really see Laurent's and Damen's relationship evolve in the best of ways! You see how smart and cunning Laurent can be, how he seems to always be one step ahead, as we have come to expect, but at the same time not. It's like the Regent has thought of everything first and it's irritating that after everything all of these characters have gone through, more so in this book perhaps, that they still seem to be losing! I want so much for Laurent and Damen to join forces not just for this war but for good! I want Damen to come clean because what he feels for Laurent and what Laurent feels for him goes beyond trust and beyond friendship, even if now I can't call it love... Laurent deserves more from Damen and I want to see that happen. I want to see it unravel. Because Laurent isn't stupid and I think it may have crossed his mind, even if it was cast aside as mere coincidence or overthinking. Oh, and there's a part (and a half) where we see Damen and Laurent being so sweet...! It's the best thing! It melted my heart and I love it!!! As before, I've loves this book. It's one of my all-time favourites!
