Great start to a new medieval adventure. When war threatens, Freyja's life in a reclusive village is turned upside down. Thrust into the role of Prince Edvard, Freyja must learn to be the hero her country needs - to protect the kingdom and the ones she loves. While Freyja struggles to become a prince she hardly knew, her brother Alec struggles with their eldest brother's legacy, and the prince's knights figure out their role with this changed prince. And of course there's the burning question: why does Freyja look so much like the prince?

The first chapter is a roller-coaster of emotion, and I found myself very attached these characters I'd just met. All of the prince's knights, the conniving nobles, the bandit attacks, I love it all so much, and I'm so ready for more.

Strongly recommend to fans of The Legend of Arslan or Yona of the Dawn.

Prince Freya is a really fun story and I was instantly caught up in the world and the characters. I liked the premise and I can see there will be many great opportunities to develop Freya's character as the tale continues. The artwork in this series is stunning, and for me that was as big a draw as the story itself. This is a book that captured my interest enough that I would be keen to read on, given the opportunity. I would like to see how things go for Freya and the others as the adventure continues.

The cover for this one definitely captured my attention. I also was intrigued by the idea of Freya dressing up like the prince and taking over his position. I really didn't know what to expect when it came to the plot. There were definitely a lot of surprises that I wasn't anticipating.

Freya is thrown into this mess of warring kingdoms but it wasn't specifically mentioned why she decided to run and take the prince's place. She didn't have much development and most of the time she was crying. I didn't understand why a few of the male characters seemed to fall all over her.

I did like the brother because I just love when brothers are in stories! They were charming but again, lacked much development.

 I am still curious to see where book two goes when it comes to the plot and hopefully there will be more development for the characters.
