Absolutely stunning, akin to the Empire Trilogy written by Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts, but make it gay! The amount of intrigues, court plays, war tactics and table turning was absolutely fantastic. And I adored the relationship between Laurent and Damen and never knowing exactly what Laurent was thinking or what he'll do. This is a great ending for this trilogy and an excellent trilogy overall!

I really enjoyed the other two books in the series, and loved this one even more. It's really the culmination of the previous two books' plot threads, twists, and character development particularly between Laurent and Damen. It's a satisfying conclusion to their story and to their journey all the way from book 1. Sometimes I find that series ends will be unsatisfying, that the author will try too hard to make the last book stand out even as they've run out of steam, the entire Captive Prince Trilogy feels like one continuous story split into three parts. Of course each has its own distinct narrative arc for our deutrotagonists, but it's satisfying seeing everything you've read and learned reach the end you'd hope it would. In the last 1/4 of the book I was nearly jumping out of my seat at the events transpiring, and the end definitely made me tear up at the poetic book-ending that Pacat gave the story.
