I find that Seth x Horus is like my Laurent x Damen all over again (In some small ways). I...

I actually kinda see it, but captive prince was a lot heavier for sure. Nothing beats the shit Laurent did to Damen

is the captive prince worth it??? idk anything abt it really but for some reason I see a lot of fanfic for it

Yeah fr, poor Damen but poor Laurent as well when you understand why he did it.

I'll start off with some warnings, it has themes of p3dophilia and slavery but don't worry it doesn't glorify or romanticize it. The story highlights and condemns the mistreatment and exploitiveness of them (that happens in this fantasy setting) both through MC and ML experiencing it first hand and through others.

The appeal for me is that they are enemies and there's a lot of reasons why they should hate eachother, yet they keep ticking eachother's boxes of why they should be attracted to one another and should have the other (in their bed). It's a slowburn and there's not that much getting down and dirty scenes but the enemies to lovers development that's kind of like a forbidden love in each of their perspective just makes my heart go goop goop while my stomach does flips.

I'm not sure if you'll find it worth it so I'll just leave you with my verdict above as well as some notes on the series:
- The writing style maybe too different and hard to follow
- Heavy and Triggering themes and scenes
- Slow burn, no romance in first book just some development but might need a second through the whole series to catch on
- Cool moments of MC popping off with some of ML as well
- handsome cunning ML
- strapping hot tough MC
- Politics and War but in a medieval setting

I'd say it's worth it if you want an Enemies to Lovers between two Princes of enemy territories who should hate eachother but are just eachother's type. And if you can handle the heavy themes and slow burn that makes book 1 have no romance but very triggering. I'm not very reliable as I might forget somethings that would probably stick out to others if they read it for the first time, positive or negative but I hope I gave an alright answer.

Nah for real, cause tell me why every character in those books is wether a child ist or a child victim
