My favorite book of all time, and I do not say that lightly. Maia is the fourth, forgotten son of the emperor and never expects to be on the throne. A tragedy changes that and throws Maia headfirst into a world of Court. My favorite aspect of this book is the kindness that Maia clings to despite the difficulty of his circumstances.

Also, yes, there are way too many names and they all look the same but there is a very thorough list of persons in the beginning and the rest of the book more than makes up for it.

I really liked this book because every time something seemed to be going wrong it would turn out to be part of Darrow's plan all along. 

I just didn't really care about the characters 

This was one of the cutest things I've ever read!!

Holy hell is this book boring. I know it was written in the 1800's so it's going to be slow but literally nothing happened.
