Prince Freya, Vol. 1 (Prince Freya, #1)

by Keiko Ishihara

The powerful kingdom of Sigurd has slowly been conquering all the lands that share its borders, and now it has turned its voracious attention to the small, resource-rich Tyr. Tyr cannot hope to match Sigurd in strength, so in order to survive, it must rely on the intelligence, skill and cunning of its prince and his loyal knights. But should their prince fall, so too shall Tyr…

Freya thinks of herself as a simple village girl, but her idyllic life is shattered when she is caught up in the aftermath of a treacherous Sigurdian plot. She bears a striking resemblance to her country’s beloved Prince Edvard, who lays dying from poison. Without its ruler, all of Tyr will quickly be engulfed by Sigurdian violence. Now Freya must take Prince Edvard’s place and lead his valiant knights in defending the realm!

A pretty decent start to a series, though admittedly it's a bit lacking in areas. The major twist in this was pretty shocking, though the major plot hook of Freya impersonating the prince was kind of flat. I loved the anxiety that went into her trying to be a completely different person but found her overall appeal somewhat lacking through most of it.

Nevertheless, I may pick up the second volume when I can to see how it progresses.
