This one was a tough read. I still really enjoyed it, especially after the plot started to pick up a little bit, but I was not expecting the book to take the tone that it did toward the end. It’s interesting.
Plus, I don’t know if it’s me or the long-gone social conventions of the book, but I often felt like the Prince in not understanding what was going on. Why did everyone laugh at him so much, especially when he was often feeling a real concern or emotion. I still don’t really understand some of the scenes, but I think that’s because I’m taking them at face value? But what other way is there to take them?
I think this one would do with a re-read eventually, especially with the context of the ending.
