First off, a big THANKS to Netgalley for the advance reader’s copy of

The RUNAWAY KING by Jennifer Nielsen

The Runaway king is another winner for Jennifer Neilson! It was a great story and I can’t wait for the final episode! 

Sage once again uses his wit and sharp thinking skills to save his people and then some!

 In this sequel, Sage had been a king for a fair few weeks; yet power trips in his kingdom are already trying to steal his kingdom away from the young king. Good luck with that!  Worst, there is a brewing war against his people, yet no one believes King Jaron AKA Sage! The question is how is Sage going to make his people take him seriously, and what is he going to do with his queen by inheritance? When is heart already belonged to another? Love triangle perhaps? Huh!

The Runaway King is a thrilling sequel to The False Prince. The revelations are jaw dropping and exciting. OMG!!! Pirates! And my King Jaron is still the fun loving, sarcastic, mischievous boy at heart, but Sage grew up a lot in this book! The end had a major Cliffy…! Wonderful sequel , edge of my seat, drool inducing…WOW.
