4 Star/5
The False Prince is about a 14 year old boy called Sage
who is taken, along with 3 other boys who look alike, by a noble called Connor,
who will choose one of them to impersonate the king’s long lost son and make
him a puppet prince.
I really liked this book as it is a nice light read which
will appeal to everyone young and old, and while the book is a bit predictable,
it is not as bad as other books in this genre. Sage is a really likeable and
relatable teenage boy and while at first he comes across as arrogant and
annoying he is actually nice and selfless.
I enjoyed the way Nielsen wrote the relationship between
the boys and how they became friends through shared experiences but at the same
time how they were rivals as they know that only one will be chosen and the
others will die.
This is a really good book which reminded me a bit of the
Thief by Megan Whalen Turner, but I preferred this one as I could relate more
to the characters. I would recommend this book to people who like the Belgariad
or Eragon.
