kwerle 's review for:
The Ruin of Kings
by Jenn Lyons
What can I say... the editing was good. The dialogue was good. I didn't care for the layout of the story, and I didn't really care for the story much at all.
The first 3/4 was told in 2 timeline tracks - for absolutely no apparent reason.
Mechanical spoilers (not really plot details):
Half the main characters seem like maybe they are - or could be - or were in a previous life - a god. But being a god doesn't seem to matter all that much? And sometimes you can be brought back from the dead. And there is reincarnation. And there is at least one mechanism where folks can change bodies.
All of which makes me a lot less invested in any character and what happens to them. Which really is not what you want in a story. At least it's not what I want.
