Review:
It's sort of an alternate version of The Prince and the Pauper, but with lots more swordfights and I loved it! The storyline was captivating, the action sequences thrilling and the main character very likeable. I am assuming from the final chapter that there is at least a part two as well, which I'll try seek out as soon as possible!
8/10
Thanks for the review! I've been interested in this because I keep on running into the movie version (not watching it, just encountering it on movie lists and such).
