I listened to the audiobook of the [b:The False Prince 12432220 The False Prince (The Ascendance Trilogy, #1) Jennifer A. Nielsen http://d.gr-assets.com/books/1333227435s/12432220.jpg 16221764] because there was a lot of buzz about it and I was surprised by how much I enjoyed it, given that I don't usually care for this kind of fantasy/monarchy/whatever. But I loved the character of Sage and I loved the narrator for the audio, which I continued to hear in my head as I read the paper version of this. Anyway, SHIT GOT SO REAL IN THIS, I READ IT ALL IN ONE DAYSO REALI appreciate the way that Nielsen is able to make this all so intense and plausible. Liiiike.... realy, the long-lost teenage king needs to battle to the death to become the pirate king? FUCK YEAH HE DOESSage/Jaron is so clever and resourceful, and I dig that.Has anyone else read this? Can we talk about Imogen?? She, to me, was the one weirdo misstep of False Prince. Is it just love at first sight? What's the DEAL. I kept expecting there to be some other twist like SHE'S SECRETLY THE PRINCESS OF GENOVIA. But so far nothing. Maybe that's saved for book 3??? Anyway I liked when Amarinda and and Jaron kinda had stuff worked out but then the extra twist at the end CONCERNED me. Umm oh and I loved Imogen burying knives all over the place. Like, who thinks like that. I guess that is why Jaron digs her. WHEW. YES. IN SUMMARY, WHEN IS BOOK 3
