   None No current Talk conversations about this book.  radioactivebookworm | Jul 12, 2019 |    ) Marcella1717 | Jan 22, 2016 | This is definitely a run-on story, as in one that doesn't end neatly after the first installment. It's an interesting story world and a quick read with intense situations and high stakes. I'm curious to see how the rest of the story plays out. Content: Swearing and violence. (  ) CrystalCollier | Dec 26, 2014 | In THE SHADOW PRINCE we learn about Rowan as he learns how very vengeful his Queen Mother can be and how much her starts to care about a girl he doesn't even know. Its a very quick read but packed with plenty of action and danger in a new unique world. By the end I was excited to read what would come next. THE SHADOW PRINCE was a great introduction to the world of Mortal Enchantment and gave us a great bit of background on the characters and story to come. * This book was provided free of charge from the Author in exchange for an honest review. ( ) STACYatUFI | May 9, 2014 | This book is a novella and a prequel to O'Neale's Mortal Enchantment series. So those that get this that are looking for a novel-length read need remember this is shorter and the end is a somewhat of a cliffhanger. This was an easy read and I finished it in one sitting. Overall, the pacing for the novella was decent and didn't feel too rushed. The world building and descriptions of the various places was detailed just enough to give great visuals without being too drawn out and annoying. I think my biggest problem were the characters. I know this is a novella, but the characters, even the main one, Rowan, felt flat to me. I had trouble relating to them or their plight. I think the only time I really reacted to what was happening to Rowan and his best friend came near the end of the story and it was more that I was shocked by the circumstances that lead to a very brutal scene. Rowan's attempts at being a "bad" boy came across as small child wanting attention and failing miserably at that. I don't mind whiny characters because they serve their purpose (and not that Rowan was "whiny"), but if you're going to give me a sob story on why you have to act bad, then that turns me off. Would I recommend this book to others? Yes, I would. (  ) kishazworld | Apr 6, 2014 | no reviews | add a review
