The best guide to create intentional astral projections. I've never made it through though. Lol. Highly recommend for anyone with qn interest. Even if you don't finish you'll learn meditation, focus, and energy manipulation skills.

Heartbreaking in so many ways
Contains spoilers, click to show
This is probably the most heartbreaking book of the entire series because we see Dimitri in a light that we really wish we didn't need to. We see him through the lense of Rose, so for a while there is still some attraction and romantisizm, but we later recognize the amount of abuse and manipulation this twisted form impacted their relationship.

The best part of the book is meeting the Belikova family. I truly wish that we got more time with them in the series.

"Given the current political climate, I have found myself picking up and flicking through “The Prince” on more than one occasion over the past year. It seems manipulation and questionable political conduct is very much alive and well! A fascinating study and still wholly relevant."
