WOW!
Full review @ Sporadic Reads
Even though this book is classified as Middle Grade, I find that adults would also enjoy the story that Jennifer A. Nielsen cooked up. The plot may be simple, but the elements that surrounded it made the story so strong that I've put it on my special shelf. It can be read as a stand-alone, so there isn't a huge cliffhanger in the end. But when I finished reading this, I felt like my hunger for a great book was satiated. I highly recommend this book for all ages! ...more

The False Prince is one of my favorite books so far this year. I really enjoyed it and stayed up extremely late to finish it.

4.5 stars! This was a terrific YA fantasy with a great main character, some good supporting characters, and absolutely gripping plot and pacing. Even though the plot "twists" were not entirely unexpected, getting there was a whole lot of fun and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Apparently, there are two more after this, so if the author continues building on what she's started, I could easily see 5 stars for this trilogy.

Great middle grades fantasy book! Quick paced, kept my interest from the first page to the last sentence. Though I picked up fairly quickly on what would be the twist in the end it did not take away from my enjoyment at all. Several great characters, especially Sage. I'll definitely read the next book soon :).

I really enjoyed this one..was looking for something different to read and decided to try it. It was almost predictable but I did second guess it a time or two. Although the actual ending was abrupt I was on pins an needles waiting to get there.
