Just not all that good. Mostly is a confusing series of events where people die constantly in this intrigue heavy battle for the throne. People attack are caught and arrested then interrogated then either they have further leads or they are a dead end. The situation is that the crown prince is constantly being attacked and targeted. This is really a problematic concept, as conspiracies do not have constant action. They build and hide in the dark, attack as an assassin, then retreat with either success or failure. When those in the dark keep poking their heads into the light they eventually get exposed.
The story is rather bland and the characters as well. This is a good one to skip.
