Prince of Agony (Perilous Courts #6)
Tavia Lark
The price of Kazia’s power is pain. Prince Kazia Dire isn’t nice. Being nice lets people close. Letting people close risks revealing Kazia’s greatest secret—the power that condemns him to a lifetime of abuse. Until opportunity appears in the form of a captive enemy mage. Following a dragon across the border lands Lucien Vaire in chains, and matters only get worse from there. Lucien has hated House Dire since the last war. Now, he’s under the notorious brat prince’s direct control. Yet beneath Kazia’s vicious mask, Lucien senses desperate vulnerability. Painful experience has taught Kazia to fear mages. He keeps Lucien at a distance even as he uses Lucien’s talents. But that distance narrows with each careful kindness. Each accidental touch. Lucien acts more like a protector than a prisoner, and Kazia is tempted by the dangerous sweetness of trust. But Lucien is still a mage, and Kazia is still broken. And Kazia’s cruel parents may still destroy them both. Prince of Agony is a high fantasy gay romance, featuring captivity, hurt/comfort, and enemies hiding in a linen closet together. This is the final book in the Perilous Courts series, which is best enjoyed in order.

0 0I admit that I rushed book 5 just to get to this book faster because the little peeks we got of Kazia in other books had me very intrigued.
this book... was so-so. I reaaaaaaaaaally like the characters, especially Kazia duh. Lucien is cool, I liked him from previous books already and the fact the Whisper showed up so much again was the biggest bonus ever.
The age gap is never mentioned so everything is good over there.
It's just... the love. Kazia falling for Lucien? okay. But Lucien my boy... he forgot he was a war prisioner way too fast lol
He went from military commander and dragon rider to wannabe assassin in a matter of seconds. Also, instantly falling in love with the enemy prince that has throughtly humilliated because "you see him" is very ooc for any proper military nationalist like he claimed to be.
Whatever... I just made use of that little thing we all readers need at times like this "Suspension of disbelief" and voilà!
oh oh... the ending had me laughing... but not to hard because by then my disbelief had been suspended for hours and I was ready for anything.
This is more of a three star than 4. But I really really REALLY liked Kazia as a character. My sweet cinnamon roll carried the plot of three and a half books on his lavender shoulders. I love him to the moon and beyond
