The Traitor Prince

I was surprised by some reveals I didn't see coming, but it also made me wonder if the story was trying to mislead me intentionally. Was the pacing of the reveals just right or a little jarring?

The world feels fresh yet familiar, blending classic fairy tale elements with a darker tone. I'm curious whether the author based it on a particular legend or created it from scratch.

The story swings between intense betrayal and tender loyalty, which made the emotional stakes feel high. I wonder what guided the choice to include both light and dark moments so evenly.
