Start by marking “The Name of All Things (A Chorus of Dragons, #2)” as Want to Read: more snark!) Let's be honest here Janel is awesome ok she's not perfect but I'd certainly buy her a pint ! . Lyons was able to keep the footnoted-multi-narrative style going, though perhaps in a way that will be less confusing for people than the last one (I was fine with how The Ruin of Kings was done, however), but this isn't really Kihrin's book, but Janel's, and it was interesting seeing from (mostly) her perspective, especially with her flaws on full display. "You absolutely loved the characters from the first book. Unfortunately, it doesn’t end up being as great as it sounds.When Kihrin enters his new life, he enters a den of liars, manipulators, abusers and killers. The only book to have challenged it (so far, at least) for year’s best is The Priory of the Orange Tree, but that’s a serious toss-up. (Warning: This review features minor spoilers for The Name of All Things, as well as a major spoiler regarding the ending of the first book in the series, The Ruin of Kings. Notes to self about why I shouldn't try to finish it in the future:It took a while longer than I wanted it to (I listened to the audiobook during my commutes), but I finished this crazy, yet amazing sequel!This ended up being a deeply engaging book, just as the first one was. The Name of All Things picks up pretty much directly after The Ruin of Kings, with Kihrin having found himself in Jorat after needing to leave Quur because he maybe, hypothetically, technically killed the Emperor. Our story revolves around Kihrin, a street thief and musician who grew up living in a brothel. Author Jenn Lyons isn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. He's destined to destroy it.The Ruin of Kings is the first book in Jenn Lyons's epic new series. Yes. The Ruin of Kings (book 1) absolutely wrecked me as a reader. If you haven't read The Ruin of Kings or The Name of All Things yet, you might want to proceed with caution when it comes to reading my review for The Name of All Things.) (No spoilers)I almost never write a review before finishing but at the halfway mark, I feel compelled to warn readers that this series is tedious and convoluted; I was eager to read about the characters from the first novel but the cast from the first novel is sidelined to focus on another aspect of the story.

Once I started I kept wanting to read more and more of it--for the mystery, for the characters, for the cool stuff that was going on. Prepare yourself for magical twists, wild turns and the occasional sucker-punch.Kihrin grew up on tales of long-lost princes and grand quests - despite being raised in a brothel, making money as a musician and street thief. A ridiculously huge thank you to the publisher & the author. It’s even more complicated than being the lost son of a royal household. "― Let's be honest here Janel is awesome ok she's not perfect but I'd certainly buy her a pint ! Kihrin flees but he's marked by a demon and his life will never be the same again.That night also leads to him being claimed as a lost son of that prince's royal house. Notes to self about why I shouldn't try to finish it in the future:DNF. Was it still a little overly complicated? They are to publish her entire trilogy called The Relic Trilogy. When not writing, she can be founding debating the Oxford comma and Joss Whedon’s oeuvre at various local coffee shops.“How easy is it to convince ourselves we’re infallible, that our way and point of view are the only ones that matter. The writing is too fast-paced, but I think most of us reading epic fantasy can forgive that in exchange for good characters and world-building, right?

There are a lot of cute little scenes with Morea at the beginning – the girl he fancies – before everything gets turned upside down.A lot of things happen to poor old Kihrin but the gist of it is this: Kihrin’s life gets turned upside down when he is firstly marked by a demon and then claimed as the lost son of a royal household. He must also discover why his murderous father finds Kihrin more valuable alive than dead. plus: incredible action scenes, the badass horse-girl protagonist of my heart, some AMAZINGLY compelling villains, and the burgeoning spark of a three-way romantic tangle in which I am now deeply invested.The book gods heard my confused yet impressed rage and clearly wanted to put me out of my misery—I have an ARC! They're not in this one. Soon Kihrin attempts to escape his relative's dangerous schemes, but finds himself in far deeper waters.He becomes tangled in a plot to kill the Emperor, rob the Imperial Vaults, claim a god-slaying sword and free bound demons to wreak havoc across the land. more snark!)

Will I continue to read this series? . Need another excuse to treat yourself to a new book this week? Turning from such obvious trades, she is now a video game producJenn Lyons lives in Atlanta, Georgia, with her husband, three cats, and a lot of opinions on anything from the Sumerian creation myths to the correct way to make a martini. I am fully aware that I am probably the first person to finish this book who isn't a personal friend of Jenn Lyons or an employee at Tor--at the very least I am the first person to write a written review and I would never, ever forgive myself for spoiling a single thing in this book so have no fear, I will not tell you a single plot thing or any specifics at all. Fantasy, sci-fi and YA make up the majority of her bookshelves.Enter your email address to subscribe to this blog and receive notifications of new posts by email.Can I just start by saying: WOW!

Was I still confused about what was actually going on below the main surface story? . Was it still a little overly complicated?
