Heir by Tate James

4.0

Review for the whole series: an interesting take on a royal disguise, hidden heir, Hunger Games plot. NOTE: The whole series is available on KU for free under "[b:The Royal Trials: Complete Series|53634857|The Royal Trials Complete Series (The Royal Trials, #1-3)|Tate James|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1590791420l/53634857._SY75_.jpg|83957551]".

Book 3 had a surprisingly satisfying conclusion. I often find myself feeling let down with the resolution of a book, particularly when reading the resolution of a series. Not here:

I loved seeing the third trial, the escalation of reveals about the magic, the escalation in the whodunit with the gods/goddesses..

. All credit to the author for one of the more satisfying resolutions I've read in recent memory.

As noted in my review for book 1, I found myself least satisfied with the relationships, and that continues in each of the books in the series. Minor spoiler for the relationships:

while this book is billed as RH, it's more of "FMC in three open relationships". The fact that the three MMCs were brothers was never addressed to my satisfaction (only barely mentioned in the box-set-only epilogue). Meh
