The Solstice Prince is a very low-angst fantasy book, with some hurt/comfort elements, but overall, it was a sweet, enjoyable read/listen.
Both Jaime and Prince Maxim were very likable, adorable characters and it was lovely seeing Maxim court Jaime after pretty much falling in love with him at first sight. Maxim was very patient and determined to show Jaime how much he meant to him, despite the difference in their social status and Jaime was very willing to be swept off his feet.
As always, Joel Leslie did a fantastic job with the narration. He doesn’t just narrate a book, he performs it and that comes across when you’re listening to his voice. It took me about a chapter to get used to the characters’ accents, but other than that, Joel did justice to all the characters and brought them to life for me. I have to admit that my favorite was his voice for Maxim, though. *swoons* It was perfect for the prince.
Be it if you decide to read it or listen to it, I think you’ll find Jaime and Maxim’s story very romantic and entertaining and I have no trouble recommending it!
