The strongest point of King's Maker is probably it's story line, which is cliché yet unique. Who wouldn't enjoy some drama around the throne? But this time there are no maids or high-born ladies dangling around the main prince, but the king's boytoy. He is also the one who is determined to make the said prince king, instead of some power-hungry mom. The story is well-paced with it's ups (climaxes/highlights) and downs (relaxing/funny moments). The writer is able to tell the story without rushing it in 37 chapters, and make the reader hold their breath every page. The story starts with Wolfgang Goldenleonard, the 4th princeof his kingdom, being taken into the palace after having lived outside for years. He despises the palace and his father and refused any interactions untill he met Shin. Shin is one of the 'children' aka boytoys of the king (Wolfgang's father), and he shares Wolfgang's disgust for the current kingdom. Shin wants to change it, and he plans to do that by making Wolfgang the king.

The characters all have their unique parts, and the main characters undergo character development. The romance between Wolfgang and Shin is slow as to not lesson our focus on the main story, but fast enough for the reader to notice their feelings for each other early on.

The art is out of this world. The artist really has their own style, which is stunning and not basic. There's no such thing as too much gold!!! Sometimes I'm fangirling purely bc of the art.
