The Ruin of Kings by Jenn LyonsMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Many thanks for the opportunity to have an advance reading copy of this book. I have heard a lot of buzz about The Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons and the hype is well earned. I found The Ruin of Kings fresh, something new that will resonate with readers of epic fantasy. The most interesting thing I found with this book is that it flew by.. Highly readable with hints of mystery, made the pages turn.
The story is told from two different points of view, both relating past events. Our narrators are a demon jailer named Talon, and it's prisoner, Khirin, who may or may not be much more than what he seems. The world building is first rate and well as well fleshed out characters.
No spoilers here, but read this book, you will find yourself waiting for book 2, very impatiently.
This is an addition to the review. I guess back in 2018 I just read a large teaser of this book, because once I saw the book in the stores it was pretty big and I felt I must have missed something and boy did I.
This initial entry to the series in very well done and meaty. This is well worth the read and should be given a place on every epic fantasy readers shelf. If you are in mourning over the Wheel of Time being done and Game of Thrones taking a lifetime, read this. The author has i believe the first 4 out, so no waiting!!!
