If the author had focussed on each of the characters challenges there would have been a lot to write about the prince, entire chapters on how he learns of his father's mission, finds the letter, makes a plan, briefs Damian and Dea, makes a deal with the fate sealers andfinds and recruits Will , all the while dodging his uncle. I feel the author decided to focus on Will alone and let the prince be a background character. But the prince is not idle and has his own although brief arc. But this is true of the other characters also, Emmy and Valerie especially . We see that they have been through a great deal.

He was there from time to time, helped the protagonist, disappeared and came back again when required. I llved the equation between tbe prince and Will, a cool friendship as and when required.

Right?! And he made will do everything for him...but he could have atleast been a little more helpful or even grateful because without Will he would never have existed!

Sometimes it's more fun to hate a character than have a stereo-typical goody goody prince.

Don't worry, I had it confused for a while there, too. In fact, I found that most of the book was very confusing in general.

I agree with you. The prince was inherently good and risked his life and safety to ensure Echoland had a good King on the throne. All I've read in this discussion recently is how certain readers try to slander the character he had.

It was Emmy's echo that was murdered instead of the Prince and that led to the whole kidnapping Will and Emmy into Echoland fiasco.

It seems a lot of the underdeveloped characters could have been due to circumstance

Let me correct that misconception!! The Prince was being constantly monitored by The False King and that meant if he were seen close to Will or helping in their plan, the False King would know not only the plan but that Will was the Prince's Sound. He would have used the Fate Sealers to kill Will then.
