Upon a Burning Throne by Ashok K. Banker
4.0
Definitely dove into Upon a Burning Throne because I got the audio ARC from Netgalley for book 2. It just so happens to work out because this one was available on Kindle Unlimited. Double whammy guys!
That being said, I was pretty intrigued to dive into this one. I'll admit that I was getting tons of Game of Throne vibes - which is good because so many other people mentioned that save vibe in their reviews. Phew! Glad we are all vibing together.
As for the characters, it felt like a lot to keep track of - kind of like that series. In the beginning, I didn't know what I was going to get out of everyone because things were moving at a snail's pace. Yet, after part 1 things really took off. I was so glad that I was getting action, betrayal, and all kinds of twists. It made this book very hard to put down and walk away from.
I can't wait for more complications and revenge in the next book. I hope the sequel does a good job of continuing this storyline because it's going to suck if it falls victim to the second book syndrome. Especially with the GOT vibes and all.
