Ruin of Kings

I love fantasy as a genre, but these days I find myself getting more and more picky about them. So I could nitpick a few things about this one, but overall I enjoyed it more than I've enjoyed a book in a while! The majority of the book is written from two perspectives at different points in the same timeline, and this makes for some really unique pacing that kept me hooked even when nothing was happening. The action is really interesting, the main character is deep enough that it's hard to either hate or love him, and there's a few things going on with the book's overall world that I haven't really seen before. I've already ordered the next two books in the series and I can't wait to get into them.

I really enjoyed the story as told by two vastly different characters. There were more twists and turns than I could count.

I absolutely loved this book. Excellent start of the series & a world reimagined where the hero isn’t a clean cut solid guy & the antihero isn’t someone to hate on sight either. It’s a beautiful world described with good detail & the characters, even the small side ones, have back grounds and histories well thought out. I’m ecstatic to read the whole series.
