Season Series #1
The Season
Libby Marks-Whelan is decidedly not a lady. Kicked out of nearly every finishing school in the country, she's shocked when her demure, straight-laced cousin Ella invites her to the royal court as an attendant during her debutante season. What Ella fails to realize, however, is that Libby's brand of mischief is exactly the kind of distraction Prince Andrew is looking for during his inaugural season as an eligible bachelor.

Guilty pleasure type of read
October 25, 2019
This is the first book in a four book season series, prequel The Heiress Queen,and it tells the story of Ellas debutante year of the Season with her young finishing school drop outcousin, expelled from everyone in Pretania, Libby Marks-Whelan as her attendant.
It tells of all the goings on in the season along with Libby's antics while there until her cousin sends her home after finding out what she'd been upto.
When I read the synopsus for this book on WattPad I was sure that I was going to love the book and
now I've read the book I can say I wasn't dissapointed, thus the 4 out of 5 star rating. And because of
this I have to say that this is a book that Iwill both reccomend it to others and buy it as a gift for anyone I think would enjoy it.
Although i can see where other reviewers are coming from with regard the fact that the author finished this book when it was so close to the story being finished and continued the story in the Debutante I can understand why the author felt the need to do it. I honestly don't think it would have been fair not to finish this book where the author did as it was about Ella's Debutante year so the remainder of the story for Libby and Prince Andrew needed its own book so as not to detract
from Ella's story as that was what this book was about although Libby played a fairly major part
in it.
Initially I liked Ella because she had invited Libby to the Palace to be her attendant during the season, but ultimately I disliked her because it was clear that she was a mean spirited schemimg bitch which was obvious when she sent Libby home for trying to help her win the prince with her mischeivious antics.
Libby although quite Nieve has a very strong determined attitude, and cant stand all the us silly simpering that most of the debutants do when around the prince while stabbing each other in the back when the Prince isn't around. I have to say that I am of the same mind as her about the simpering and back stabbing of the Debutants because I to would have no patience with it either. It was quite clear fromthe authors writing that the Prince was neithertaken in by the debutants behaviour nor impressed with it, which is why he gravitated towards Libby so much he knew she'd tell him straught when it came to their behaviour and his behaviour.
The way the author described the characters really made the reader feel connected to them but it also made you appreciate all dynamics between them. I would also say that the way the author described the places (Palace) and country (Pretania) the story was set in made so evocatively made me feel like I was actually experiencing everything the charcters were along side them, which is why in the book whenever Libby was feeliing frustrated about something or with someone I felt that frustration to.
I particularly loved the relationships that developed between Libby and the prince and pricess as you could see that they were genuine and going to be long lasting.
All in all I loved this book so much that as soon as I finished reading it I immediately started reading the next book in the series "The Debutante".
As I'm writing this Review not having read the entire series I can honestly say that whole series (The Rebel Prince, upto where the authors written so far) is fantastic and i'll definiteltly be reading more of her work.

It was very addicting and I enjoyed reading the book, although Elizabeth is slightly precocious and the fact that the Royals are more bias to her while dedicating unrealistic effort just for her to attend balls and so on was illogical. There wasn't much character building between the Royals and Libby but overall it was a decent short story.

This is a Wattpad read I read in high school and then had a dream about and reread it again and it absolutely holds up. If you liked the selection you have to read this.

Amazing! I loved every bit of it. It brought out emotion in me. Happiness, giddiness, frustration, wanting to kill some the characters(you'll see who i mean). I loved every page. And what the topper is but there's a SECOND BOOK. That brought out just as much emotion, now that i think about it more emotion,as the first book. I love any book that brings out emotion like this. Its a good book in my opinion. Worth the read. You wont mind the time it takes out of your life. In fact you'll wish it would take more.

Romance? Check.
Rebellion? Check.
Prince Charming? Check.
Characters you want to punch in the face? Check.
An incredible story about a girl who just wants to be herself, who landed herself in the arms of a very charming prince. Absolutely loved the story from beginning to end.
Must read? Check.

Read this and trust that you will be compelled to read the entirety of this series. So well-written, so royalty vibes. I also just love this trope and how their love story blossoms, i just cannot get enough of it.
I love how elegantly written this is but still has a perfect blend of humour and LOTS of drama. my fav book series to this date.

3/5 ⭐️
The whole book has Bridgerton vibes.💎
Even though I’d probably rate it lower if it were a regular hardcover, it was a very enjoyable read for a Wattpad book. I read it as a kind of filler, since I needed a short break from the fantasy genre 👀

One of my absolute favourites from my Wattpad days. A hidden treasure. If you love romance stories with princes, this one is perfect.
