Series: The Orc Prince Trilogy by Lionel Hart

Series Reviews discuss at least three books in a series and cover the overarching themes and development of the story across several books. I'd like to thank longtime Patron Case Aiken, who receives a monthly shoutout. Full Audio Here   An elven prince. The son of an orc warlord. In two warring nations, their arranged marriage brings peace. They never expected to fall in love. Prince Taegan Glynzeiros has prepared since childhood to fight and lead armies against invading orc forces, the enemies of elves for hundreds of years. But after a successful peace treaty, the elven prince will not be fighting orcs, but marrying one. The first words he speaks to Zorvut are their wedding vows.

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
It's a good ending, it's fitting. It's quirky, everyone is in the most appropriate place. Cassie is where she needs to be. Everyone else is on a cliffhanger mission.

Ending it with the lull wouldn't have worked. I like how their reactions to the end make sense. I want this whole series to have had more of Tobias, I wish he and Ax had had their own slots in the series-long narrator rotation rather than sharing. The ship ruse is funny, sweet, and a bit tragic. I feel like they're real people who will keep going past the last page, however long that is.

I love these books. I'm sad they're over. I'll probably read Remnants or some of the author's more recent work at some point.

If you haven't read these before, it's worth it, I promise you. I hope you've enjoyed these reviews, now go read a book of your own.
