Like all of Frances Hodgson Burnett’s writing, The Lost Prince is full of impossibly nice yet likable characters. But this was my least favorite of Burnett’s novels though; the storyline was quite boring to me. From beginning to end, I just didn’t care about any of the plots that concerned the characters so wholly throughout. The characters were the best part and made me like the book overall.

The writing shines most bright while each character is thinking and feeling and processing situations and encounters. The author does so well representing each of the varied characters and making them feel unique from one another.
