A review by aerwen
King Maker by Audrey Grey

3.0

I enjoyed this book, but not as much as the first two. I skimmed a lot of filler chapters and could have done without the trials plot. It was so lackluster. I would rather have the characters be involved in political machinations than the overused trial trope.

With that being said, Stolas is the main reason I kept reading this series. After book 2, I didn’t care enough about the other characters to continue if the Shade Lord wasn’t involved.

Archeron can eat dirt. I never liked his 2-faced ass, and I definitely don’t now. He never came across as genuine or caring to me.

Lastly, that big reveal with Haven was obvious. It’s something I started predicting in book 2. Overall, this book was ok, and parts of it were highly entertaining. I’ll read the next book out of curiosity, but I definitely need a palette cleanser before then.
