Kingdom Cons by Yuri Herrera

3.0

Bummed about this one. After his previous books, I was pretty amped to read this book. It's about a King and the people in his retinue, but mostly it's about the Artist--a singer/songwriter who writes corridos as ballads for the King. Interesting that no one has a real name but go by their title, King, Artist, Traitor, etc. The book was just as taut and fast-paced as his previous books, but...I dunno...the flair(?) wasn't there, seemed a little forced at times. Great, fun premise though, I just wish it had more oomph.
