Besides Elisa, Hector is my favorite character of the series. In The King’s Guard we get to meet a young Hector, but also young Alejandro and his former wife. It was a great adventure that displayed Hector’s growth, strength of character, loyalty and leadership. I really enjoyed this one, being in Hector’s mind is fascinating!
The complicated politics of the Joya d’Arena take precedent here, as well as Alejandro’s lack of direction and decisiveness. We also learn a big and surprising secret. Another must read for fans of the series (like me!).
