A Tale of Two Princes

2.5 stars. I suspended my disbelief enough to accept the premise that Canada now has a monarchy. But I couldn't move past the paper-thin characters who frequently bear only passing resemblance to actual human beings. The only emotion that rings true is Billy's ongoing grief three years after the death of his father. Without believable characters the entire “Crown Prince of Canada discovers he has a long lost twin who is the actual heir to the Canadian throne - and they're both queer” plot was dead on arrival. Ditto for the romances. YMMV if you stan anything that reminds you of [b:The Prince and the Pauper 62446 The Prince and the Pauper Mark Twain https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1376406798l/62446.SY75.jpg 2071994], [b:The Horse and His Boy 84119 The Horse and His Boy (Chronicles of Narnia, #5) C.S.
