🌞🌞🌞🌞🌞I hope there are more books to come in this series! The MC is great along with a really good supporting cast! The story is captivating! The narrators also do a good job of bringing the story to life! Great job Anya Merchant!

Extremely slow pacing.

I tried to get over it's slow pacing I'd hoped the next book would have more going on it just feels like nothing of importance happens in every book inching closer to a boring conclusion. I always feels on the verge of something happening like a tease without real pay off. I've no complaints of the narrators.

Like the first book in the first book in the series, a fun read

Some sexuality, including taboo sexuality, the characters are well set into the storyline. I can’t wait until the third book in the series is available in audible format.

Great Second Book better than the first

I really enjoyed Castle town 2. The second book is better than the first. There is more intrigue, more adventure, and more depth of character. The narrators are excellent really bring the book to life.
I highly recommend this book.

Author love.

Beautifully written and wonderfully imaginative story telling that grips the hart as well as the mind. A.M. has turned fantasy in to an amazingly erotica and fun journey that I can not put down.

Epic fantasy series

Review is for the series as a whole.
Anya Merchant is known for her pseudo-incest stories with fantastical elements, although it isn't as prevalent in this series as some.

The prince (adopted) is on a quest to become more powerful and become king, so his mother won't have to service whatever slob is in charge. He also has relationships with women he's known since he was a child and an aunt (by marriage), but frankly the adopted mother is the only relationship that feels incestual.

I had low expectations, but was pleasantly surprised. The sex isn't as huge a part of the story as you might think. Instead, this is an epic tale of a naive (but privileged) young man who gains supernatural powers and allies and goes through incredible trials and tribulations in his quest to become king. There are huge, continent-spanning plot developments, and the author isn't shy about killing off characters at times. There is some humor to lighten the mood here and there.

One of the magic systems used in the series is interesting and a little different - it consists almost entirely of opening portals to other realms. You don't cast a fireball, you open a portal to a realm of fire, and the same goes for other magical effects.

I will say that I found the protagonist hard to like. Yes, he's the hero, and there are reasons to feel sympathy for him, and he does in some ways mature emotionally a little, but still... he's kind of a jerk and is overall selfish, impulsive and immature. On the plus side, props to the author for not having an overly perfect and flawless hero. Still, maybe he has a few too many flaws.

Overall, the series was pretty good, although I still prefer the "Domestic Decay" series.

Note: the 8-book series is complete.

Oh man this is getting good

Man this series is getting good. highly recommend! narrators are amazing and do such a good job. Thank you Anya for the new series.

Refreshing

The storyline and plot are original. It’s refreshing to have a book in this genre with good character development an interesting story, political intrigue, in depth. The voice actors are top-notch.

10/10

Book was great, these two narrators are absolutely fantastic. I’d say this is the best work by Anya’s I’ve listened to. A job well done if you’re somehow reading this!

Good continuation from book one

I think this is a good continuation of book one but it is much slower paced than the first book do it took some time to get into it
