I admit, fantasy isn't my thing so when I was asked to read this I was a little hesitant to actually start it. Of course The False Prince changed my opinion. This book grabbed my attention with the first page and didn't let go. My only regret is that life stopped me on several occasions from simply dive in and reading it cover to cover in one sitting.Magic, friendship, mystery, and betrayal.The action scenes- as with all of his scenes- are incredibly descriptive. James Fuller knows how to place you in the thick of it all, and he has yet to disappoint. I did notice a few typos, however, I also noticed that he is working on getting them fixed up and the person he trusted to edit his book failed. I will not take away any stars for this. Honestly, I probably wouldn't take away any stars if he simply sat back and ignore the minor grammar errors. While some had me rereading the sentence, I didn't find them that distracting from the over-all product.His wide cast of characters vary with personalities and depth. Each one was carefully crafted to either make you fall in love with or despise as the story needed. I would have to say that my favorites are Nicolette and Shaina; two very lovely and strong willed females who step up when it is needed. They are opinionated and only grow into more fierce and lovable characters as the tale went on. They are the type(s) of woman I love to read about.And such friendship! I could go on and on about how I loved the way their bonds to one another pulled them through the worst.I expected the book to end with a cliffhanger as this is suppose to be an epic trilogy- from what I understand- but that didn't prepare me for how he did it. To say I scanned through every book he had out to make sure the second one wasn't already released would be sadly accurate. I can't wait for this story to continue! There are so many questions still in the air, so much action I have yet to witness, and the budding romances definitely snagged my attention. I will be cheering Meath and his friends on, along with James Fuller for producing such wonderful work!I recommend this book to all fantasy lovers, and anyone interested in a deep and captivating story.
