Rahim and Javan have a scuffle, and duplicitous affairs in the castle end up making Javan look guilty. Basically, a devious distant relative (Rahim) takes the place of returning son, Javan Samad Najafai who has been away at school for a decade. The Traitor Prince is a book that sucks you in from the beginning and doesn’t let go until the very end. Basically, I was reading it simply because I trusted the author. I wasn’t sure what Prince was retelling, and the premise didn’t hook me at first. Why? Actually, I was eyeing the Cinderella-retelling fourth novel in the series but felt compelled to read the books in order. So after I finished The Wish Granter, I bought the third in the series, The Traitor Prince. I didn’t want to read another retelling, and I thought the novel would be a disappointment after the fabulous first entry in the series. Weeks later looking at it on my “to read” pile, I regretted it. I was so impressed by The Shadow Queen that I bought the next book in the Ravenspire series, The Wish Granter. When I read the description, I thought I would hate The Shadow Queen because I’m not fond of Snow White being depicted as a warrior princess. Redwine’s first novel, The Shadow Queen, as part of a goal I set for myself for “Tell a Fairy Tale Day.” I was going to read several Snow White retellings and review them.
