Sometimes they have questionable morals, sometimes they are irredeemable, but no matter what there are princes (and technically kings) in these books that suck!

You should add T. Kingfisher’s Nettle & Bone! The whole story stars because the prince is a terrible person.
Omg that’s been on my tbr forever. Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll add it.
Omg you should definitely read it! It’s my favorite Kingfisher book, such a good turn on fairytale tropes.
The Powerless series might work!
i just had to say that this made me giggle simply because i read red queen back in the day and have heard about the plagiarism allegations for powerless, and red queen is in the cover of this list, so i went oh i’m sure ðŸ˜ðŸ˜ (this is very light-hearted i hope it comes off that way!!)
Oh, that’s fine! 😂 I can see it that way. I’ve heard about the plagiarism, but I haven’t read Red Queen, so I just recommended Powerless, which I have read. You’re totally fine though!
