whitleyray 's review for:
The Ruin of Kings
by Jenn Lyons
Confusing
I liked this story idea a lot. It seems like such a cool world and magic system. But nothing was well explained. The story bounces between two narrators telling the story one of one person in different parts of life. And while it eventually makes it to one straight timeline, it’s really confusing.
Another confusing aspect is the family trees, lines, houses, names etc. With the introduction of *spoilers* body switching, several family lines get super messy and mixed up.
Then you add in different races. Which aren’t fully explained. Or described.
Maybe I missed an introductory book before this that explained a lot more. But it wasn’t quite what I was expecting or promised.
