Damen thought of the ivory and gold casing that held a creature duplicitous, self-serving and untrustworthy.

I just finished the Captive Prince trilogy in two days.

It’s not a romance. It is not Romantasy.

It’s an exploration of morality and consent juxtaposing non-consensual relationships and consensual relationships between adults.

It’s a political epic in a fantasy world.

The point of view of the pinnacle of privilege to losing bodily autonomy and back to privilege.

I didn’t find the slavery or sexual abuse to be glorified or to be put in any light other than negative.

I found the political intrigue and the character development to be what kept me reading.

There’s an enemies to lovers trope buried in the political intrigue and exploration of morality.

The funniest thing about captive prince is that Damen hardly has a secret identity at all. He is just out there using basically his regular name.

"Hi, I am Damen, not to be confused with the other Damen, who looks exactly like me, and died the exact day under suspicious circumstances the day I showed up. Just don't worry about it while I act very much like a prince and happen to have the exact skillset of one too"
