'The Leopard Prince' is the second book in the trilogy, although I am reading it last. The first book is 'The Raven Prince' and the third book is 'The Serpent Prince.' (Apparently there is now also a novella out that ties in with the trilogy titled 'The Ice Princess.'

This is my least favorite of all three books and I must say, I usually am able to finish a new book in 1-2 days, this one has taken me several weeks and I am still not finished with it yet!

It started out really good. I thought the first chapter really introduced two excellent and interesting characters with some depth, but unfortunately it fizzled out after that, at least for me. The hero in the book, Henry, completely loses his appeal after the first chapter and for the life of me I can't figure out why George is so obsessed with him.

The heroine George is a likeable character and I don't thinkk the problem is with her. It is mainly with Henry. There was this unspoken attraction between the hero and heroine and it was wonderful. Then when things started to progress in their relationship, Henry went from the silent brooding mysterious gentleman to kind of caveman-ish.

I started ripping pages out of the book to glue onto my soul journal, so I am at leat getting some good use out of it.

If you can get it for free on PB Swap, go for it, but don't spend your money at the bookstore for this one. Read the other two and just skip this one IMO.
