Part 4: Review of The Masked Prince
The author did a good job in worldbuilding. Although the story is character-driven, it was also necessary to plan the world for the readers to also feel that they were also in the story. Plus, this novel also features palace intrigues which may be new to some readers.
Evelyn is a role-worthy heroine. Despite being a slave, you would be able to see how smart and brave she was. She dared to dream, and she also has the guts to fulfill it. Her past was shrouded in mystery and the story slowly unraveled it as the tension between the romance of the two protagonists heightened.
Prince Regan was also clouded with mystery. He might be dark and grim to the outside world but it never hindered him to be good to his people. He and Evelyn have great chemistry together although the romance developed slowly.
Overall, The Masked Prince is a complex read that might not be finished in one sitting. It needs preparation and willingness to read because there are a lot of details in the novel that is needed for readers to understand the whole plot.
