Review Detail

The Lost Prince is the continuation of the Nihryst series. We follow the adventures of Adalina and Lee as they travel to search for a magical flower with healing properties. Lee insists that the flower doesn’t exist, and it causes friction between the two. The flower is supposedly being held in the land where her longtime former sweetheart Michel lives, but he denies that it’s there. There’s some tension between them because she chose Lee over him right before Michel was planning to propose. Definitely some drama there. In the meantime, Adalina’s brother Shane is sick with the Kald, the sickness they are searching to cure. They’re running out of time.

What worked: The tension between Lee and Adalina kept the storyline feeling fresh, which is hard to do when you’re writing a book where they’ve already found their happiness. The author did a great job keeping the romance from falling flat. She gave them a downfall, which allowed her room to show their love growing again. The last forty percent of this book was the best part, especially after the waterfall scene. That was where it really became a gripping story. And the author doesn’t disappoint with surprises and twisty turns.

What left me wanting more:
The first sixty percent of the story was slower paced and harder to get into. Their search for the flower was a bit frustrating to read about because it seemed impossible for them to find it since so many of the characters kept saying it didn’t actually exist. That gave the story a bit of a wild goose chase kind of feel.

I don’t want to spoil anything, but it does get much better, so I definitely recommend sticking with the story. The payoff is huge.

The Final Verdict:
The Lost Prince takes you on an adventure through a magical world filled with danger, unexpected outcomes, love, and second chances. Watching the legends in this book connect with reality is a treat you won’t forget for a long time to come.
