When a routine hanging goes wrong, the survivor announces he is Cayal the immortal Prince, a Tide Lord. However, the only known record of the immortal beings of Amyrantha is the Tide Lord Tarot...and everyone knows it is only a parlour-game, an amusement.

Joy! This is exactly the kind of fantasy I love most: imaginative, pretty cruel and ambitious in its scope. We've just discoverd it and Fallon's world is already about to get a truly rude awakening: The Tide Lords are ready to make their comeback after long years of hiding, and you can bet they won't be gentle about claiming back what they believe is rightfully theirs (spoiler: everything).

First up, trigger wa Okay, this book was recommended to me a while back by someone on Twitter (sorry I have forgotten who but I am very grateful) and I picked up the audiobook with the intention of getting to it at some point. I ended up getting to it sooner than expected as I hit a bit of a reading lull and wanted to try someone new and see if I would get into their work, and I ended up completely hooked into this story from the first few chapters and desperate to find out what will happen next.

First up, trigger warnings... There is rape, abuse, genocide, slavery and more in this story so it is not one for the faint-of-heart or anyone who is unable to deal with these sorts of topics, however, I think the author handles most of these topics very well and I enjoyed reading about them.

There is also a gay romance as a part of this story. I won't go so far as to say it's a great portrayal becuase the world is very much anti-gay relationships and the characters involved aren't completely 'nice' but the fact that it's there and it's something that some of the characters openly accept and think nothing of was nice to see.

Now moving on to what this book is really about. We follow a couple of different viewpoints, our main two being Arkady Desean who is a Duchess and Cayal who is the 'Immortal Prince'. We do get other viewpoints from time to time including Arkady's husband who is the Duke, Jackson who is the master of the Crasii in their Duchy, and the King's spy-master. However, I would say Arkady and Cayal are the key characters for most of this book at least.

What I like about Arkady is that she reminded me a little of Lady Trent from Marie Brennan's series of books in that she is a historian and a woman who is rather ahead of her time. She is determined to be looked up to by others, and hopes that her scientific and historic outlook and discoveries will achieve this for her, but in a time where men still dominate society she knows it's an uphill battle. Her marriage to the Duke is one more of convenience than anything else, so she is rather pragmatic and happy to ally herself with those who will give her a platform, but she also is able to stand tall and make her own decisions and calls based on what she thinks is right. This made her both refreshing and innovative as a female in fantasy, and I respected that.

Cayal is another enigma of a character because he claims from the start that he is immortal and when his death at the start of the book doesn't quite happen people begin to question just how he's fooled them and what he is. Cayal claims he is a Tide Lord, someone able to wield Tide magic when the Tide has risen, but currently it's low Tide and he has a hard time proving he is who he says he is. I found Cayal to be a fairly typical fantasy character, he has conflicted morals, he has done many terrible things, and yet he's likeable and fun to read about and you can sympathise with his story.

The world we're following is a fascinating one because although it has evolved much like our own there are all manner of new races which have been created, namely half-animal-half-human cross-overs such as the Canine and Feline Crasii. These races are basically enslaved by humans at this point in history, but it is believed that they were created by the Tide Lords and that they are compelled to serve their masters should they ever return.

We also have the Tide magic to play with, and as we unfold more of the story of Cayal's life we learn a lot about how the Immortals were created and what they have done with their magic as times have gone by. Being immortal tends to get a little tedious after many long years so fighting by moving seas and killing off thousands seems like a standard past-time for some...

There's also a lot of politics to contend with in this world. We have the King, who is related to the Duke and who is looking to marry is son off, we have the Immortals who are constantly warring and we have the Crasii society and their own hidden off-shoots which are working undercover. There are plenty of layers that get revealed as the book goes on, and I loved seeing how people and creatures were linked and how the world has been shaped up to this point.

Overall I was utterly enthralled by this story and I am keen to find out what happens next and amazed that this series is not more popular. I look forward to being able to follow the rest of the adventure in the next few books very soon and I am happy that it's a complete series (I think?) for me to whizz through! 4.5*s ...more

The overall feel is a book that feels like it's paving the way for other, more exciting events in upcoming books. Most human characters were sort of stereotypical with a twist; the "ice duchess" and academic, intelligent, unaware of her perfect beauty and starved for love; the immortal "prince," who's actually the good-looking rogue who hasn't fully seen the error of his ways; the honorable duke, trying to do the best for the people under his care, who is hiding his gay lover. There is very little action besides talking for at least half the book, but a lot of court intrigue.

Magic is virtually non-existent, at least in the present timeline of the book. What is driving the story is the return of the Immortals, some of whom will be capable of magic--in the future. The concept of an immortal race living among a human one is not particularly new; it was done most notably by Roger Zelazny in Lords of Light. The premise is interesting, but for the most part, we meet the Lords through The Immortal Prince sharing memories with Arkady. Fallon's interesting twist is a tide of magic ebbing and flows. The lords, while immortal, they exist more like mortals in terms of magic or abilities while the magic is gone.

The other unique aspect to the story is the story of the slave race, although in actuality, its a number of 'species' for lack of a better term. Surviving in current days are the Crasii; canine, feline and amphibian like beings who are genetically programmed to obey orders of the Tide Lords. The exception is the Scards, who somehow have the ability to resist lords. Our perfect heroine and Duke already supported improved Crasii rights; once we realize they can also fight against lords, it becomes obvious that this will lead to a battle in upcoming books, with the potential for Crasii to gain emancipation.

Overall, while it might be written well, the high melodrama with very little fantastical elements (barring the Crasii, which aren't particularly original when you realize their animal natures are a philosophical prop) just isn't an enjoyable read for me. ...more

It has a great epic fantasy feel to it, but the characters are very well fleshed out and enjoyable. The conceit of these extremely dis-compassionate and capricious immortal figures was very intriguing, and all the "king-capades" (as I like to call this genre) were interesting because the characters aren't totally cookie-cutter.

That is the main premise of Ms. Fallon's first book in the Tide Lords series. I had read this series years ago but can't believe how much I had forgotten.

*****4.5*****

What happens when an eight thousand year old immortal is tired of living and wants to die?

That is the main premise of Ms. Fallon's first book in the Tide Lords series. I had read this series years ago but can't believe how much I had forgotten.

I didn't find that there was an excess of world building (at least not in the present) but the characters in the story were so fleshed out and real I loved it.

Cayal, the Immortal Prince, tries to have himself beheaded so that (even though he can't die - he is immortal after all) he would at least not be able to remember anything about his previous eight thousand years of life, and to him that's almost as good as death. The problem is, the headsman is on vacation of all things and so Cayal (posing as murderer Kyle Lakesh) is to be hanged instead. Well that just doesn't work for our Immortal Prince, hanging won't do anything. When he fails to die, an academic is called in by the King's spymaster to verify if Kyle is insane or not (being insane would allow him to escape another attempted killing).

Enter Arkady Desean - historian and strikingly intelligent woman with her own basket of pain and secrets. Arkady does not believe in magic, and certainly not in immortals who can wield it. She is called in to prove that he is not insane, but rather a spy for a neighboring kingdom. But Arkady gets far more than she bargained for when she can't seem to trip Cayal up on any of his story points.

The scope is vast, and I just know there is going to be some epic stuff happening in the next books. The Tide is on it's way back in, which means the Immortals who can wield the Tide (eight of twenty two if memory serves) will find their powers coming back soon and also their desire to rule the world.

With a mix of mounting political intrigue, strange hybrid animal-humans who are compelled to serve the Tide Lords and storytelling about how the Immortals came to be and what they have done over the course of thousands and thousands of years this was a book that I had trouble putting down.

I dock half a star only because some of the subject matter made me a little bit uncomfortable. Mass murders, forced suicides and rape all reared their ugly heads in this book and I never really like that sort of cruelty. It was refreshing however to see an authour who had really thought out her Immortal characters and made them very real. They were humans before and they are still humans now only they can't die. They are fallible and petty and even the best of them can be corrupted and then have eternity to live with the shame and the memories. I found the fact that the Immortals can in fact still be hurt but not killed to be really intriguing.

I highly recommend most of Ms. Fallon's works and look forward to reading the rest of this series with my friends at BB&B. ...more

I say this as an avid fan of Jennifer Fallon. I hated this book. The only reason I waited until almost the end to call it quits is because her series’ always get better after the first book. But never before have I given any of her books a rating under 3 stars.

The queer rep is terrible, in that literally only the people we’re supposed to dislike are queer, and it’s not portrayed very well at all, on so many levels.

The queer rep is terrible, in that literally only the people we’re supposed to dislike are queer, and it’s not portrayed very well at all, on so many levels.
We get one bisexual character who is a douchebag, and not with any real motivations, just to have a villain of some kind in the story. He is definitely the worst queer representation I’ve ever seen.
We also have a gay character whose wife knows he’s gay, is basically his beard, and tries to do what she can to get him to have a child with her for appearance’s sake. But he is so grossed out by women that he can’t even hold hands with one, & literally can’t. Even though she is his friend.
Misogynistic societal grossness aside, this is not how being gay works.

The women are treated horribly. I’m used to reading a lot of adult fantasy and historical fiction, so I’m pretty desensitized to the misogyny so rampant in those genres. But this is the literal worst I’ve ever seen.
The worst part is a young teenage girl who flirts with older men every chance she gets. She doesn’t have a POV, we just get the POV of the men, who slut-shame her nonstop in their internal monologue.
But this is far from the only mistreatment of female characters.

There is a lot of rape that is treated very insensitively. It’s not just the fact that there is rape, it’s the fact that even the heroes of the story seem to think rape is good for the woman like it is for the man.
The one time someone stands up for a woman being raped, it’s treated like a heroic act that no one had thought of before, when really it’s just...being a decent human.

This also has the most insensitive exploration of the theme of slavery I have ever encountered. There is a whole race of animal people who were brought into existence specifically to be slaves, and they’re enslaved for thousands of years. Even if it weren’t equating slaves to literal animals, the way it is portrayed would be insensitive.
Jennifer Fallon writes about slavery in her other books as well, and it’s nowhere near as insensitive as this is.
Also, there is a mention of beastiality. It happens off-scene and is just mentioned, but it’s SO GROSS.

Also, there are a lot of plot holes, POVs that are not needed, and a lot of boring backstory that adds nothing to the plot. The world building and the magic system are horribly arbitrary, and this book just sucked overall.

I’m not even going to read the rest of the series now, because even if the 2nd book is fantastic, it’s not really a good recommendation for my booktube audience unless someone wants to slog through this one and all of its insensitive commentary first. ...more

That was the trouble with hiding for a thousand years. People forgot about you. Or they twisted your story around so much they turned you into a myth; they scorned your very existence until you began to wonder if you were real, or just a figment of your own imagination.

In this fantastical world, Jennifer Fallon blends fantasy, magic, romance and politics together to form a wonderful and fantastical story. With great characterization this story really comes to life. It's the first book in the series and there is not much adventure in itself or even epic fantasy in this book, the exception being Cayal the Immortal Prince's stories. The main focus of this first book is on introducing the reader to this world and to the history of the Tide Lords, which Cayal narrates as the story progresses to Arkady, the Duchess of Lebec who is tasked with proving Cayal as a spy of a rival country.
The reader is introduced to the politics that govern this world, their history and their belief system, the social dynamics that make up this world and of course their legends of the Tide Lords. It does however lead up to an amazing setting for the rest of the books.

Cayal the Immortal Prince is weary of his immortality and seeks a way to die, or at least to lose his memories. He plans to get himself beheaded, but is hanged instead - which he survives.

Only an optimist would think it possible for an immortal to find a way to die.

The twist of an immortal, who wants nothing more than to be mortal, is rather original and an interesting perspective. There is also a great deal of romance between Cayal and Arkady, whose stubborn belief that the immortal Tide Lords are nothing but a legend, gets rather annoying after a while. Another interesting story arc is that of the crasii, a magically blended race of human and animal, which were created by the Tide Lords specifically to be their slaves.

All in all I enjoyed this book, even if it was at times a little slow, and I will definitely be reading the second book that has an amazing premise:

In this world the Tide Lords, with their immortality and god-like powers, have been written off as nothing but a legend, as they have been in hiding during the "low tide" during which they are powerless. This however, is about to change as the tide changes.

“We’re not the ignorant fools our forefathers were, just waiting for the immortals to come along and show us the way. They’ve been gone a very long time. We’re smarter now, more capable of defending ourselves against them.”

Quotes from The Immortal Prince

“Solitude is an interesting companion. It is both enemy and friend, comforter and tormentor. I spent a lot of time in Dun Cinzci's meat locker trying to decide which. Fortunately, when I tired of solitude, I had guilt to keep me company. Guilt is an even more interesting acquaintance than solitude, let me tell you. Solitude is a harsh but essentially benign attendant. Guilt, on the other hand, is a living, breathing creature, cruel and remorseless. It eats you from the inside out; devours what little hope you have left. It feeds on you, growing stronger with every accursed replayed memory, every useless recrimination." ~ Cayal, The Immortal Prince” — 5 likes
