So, because I was an impatient person after I finished book 1 & immediately dove into book 2, this is a combined review of the two books, leaning more towards The Night Prince.
For starters, this is the first ‘official' adult wolf shifter trope book that I've read. It was definitely an interesting introduction. I have read other romantasy books with wolves, but its different.
Now, to speak on the books themselves, wow. The Wolf King felt very predictable to me, in a way that I could guess what would happen. Not that that is a bad thing, at all. And there were definitely moments that took a twist or turn that did catch me. But it was enjoyable. I had suspected about Blake for a bit, but there was a turning point that had me switching sides like I was a light switch. From then on, it was me screaming at Aurora and anticipating everything.
There was also a few times I had to set the book down to cool off too. It was getting pretty spicy, and unfortunately I decided to pick this series up right before Thanksgiving. What a mistake on my part, I had to be composed and socialize.
But at the end of book one, I just couldn't stop myself and immediately picked up The Night Prince. And my attention was hooked entirely. The Night Prince was a lot less predictable to me, but that might not be the case for everyone.
The Night Prince kept me wanting. Every time I thought i knew what exactly was going on, there was a slight shift; my guesses were almost right. My heart kept pulling and pulling, and all I could think of was Rhysand with Feyre during ACOMF. The yearning that he has for her, while knowing she despises him. Ugh, that's like my absolute favorite.
By the end, I was blown away. There is so much that happens in The Night Prince. It keeps giving and giving, before leaving you high and dry. I cannot wait for the third book. Summer 2026 cannot come fast enough. The book is dense, without feeling like it's super long. I kept checking how many pages I had, because I didn't want the story to end.
If you are craving the tension and yearning from ACOTAR and have yet to find it, i highly suggest picking up this series. It is one of the few that has given me the exact same high.
