hearts_aflame's review against another edition
4.0
I’ve read this book about 3-4 times now, and it’s still always just as charming. Arden is really a great character, absolutely easy to adore.
Caspien is….well, he’s Caspien. Hot and sexy and emotionally unavailable.
This is fiction, a place to embrace unrealistic scenarios and indulge in them without feeling guilty. And for that, I adore this book. It’s a wonderful escape from reality and I was once again very shocked when I reached the end because it is one of the few books where I don’t find myself staring at the “x minutes left in book/chapter” on my kindle.

So little happened in this book and Caspian is hard to sympathize with (but there is 2 more books in the series, plenty of time for development). I did enjoy the writing and Arden's personality. Just got way too much second hand embarrassment from him at times.

Arden is one of my favorite character because he’s so unashamedly himself.

Ardy, the main character, is a bit frustrating. He’s charming and funny on his own (or with his friends), but when it comes to Caspian, it feels like he immediately turns into a clingy, whiny mess. While I found Alexis Hall’s writing brilliant as usual, I found it hard to root for the main couple, and I may skip the next two books in the series.
