Did not appreciate the plot twist. Didn't explain clearly why the fifth prince did what he did and thus left me hanging. Same goes for the third prince's situation. As much as I enjoyed the eighth prince and the main heroine's love story, the the last two books left a sour taste in my mouth and completely ruined my whole expectations and general feelings for this series. Though one might argue that it's good for the author to do something different from the usual and that it's boring if you know definitely who's gonna end up with who, but the plot twist just ruined the whole thing for me.
