Captive Prince

HOT GARBAGE! I don't understand why anyone likes this book, I basically skimmed the whole thing. When I tried reading in earnest at the very beginning I could not get over the writing style. It was so stilted and made the voice of the narration sound robotic and boring, very much dwelling on description of places and facial expressions with no emotion. Bleh!

Not to mention what the book is actually about which I knew going into it and knew I wouldn't like but still wanted to see if the hype was justified. No, it's a crime this is on anyone's radar and I wish there was no hype. Putting aside the triggering scenes, what could possibly redeem this book to be more than 1 star? There's no plot, zero character empathy or sympathy, no development... Seriously, this is trash in the worst possible way.
