But the intial post made him appear lazy or entitled. I agree with your assessment that he acted more like a catalyst.ciecheesemeister wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 11:21 I agree that the Prince let Will do most of the work. I think he serves a role similar to Glinda the Good Witch in the Wizard of Oz. He is a catalyst who allows the major character to see that he or she can do the work on their own rather than having someone step in and rescue them.

What do you mean by stagnant? Will only reacted to the Prince's information for the most part, and he had practically pegged every major threat to his ascension to the throne...except for that willy Valorian.Kro92813 wrote: ↑23 Sep 2019, 11:48Mhmm!

I think the prince may have used his position of power to get out of having to do the grunt work. Or at the least that's what he expected

There was too little concerning the Prince's temperament or personality in this book to accurately draw that conclusion. It seems unfair to the author and the character to label him so without knowing him like one knows Will.
