The majority of The Ruin of Kings is told back and forth by Kihrin and his jailor Talon while Kihrin is imprisoned for some unspecified reason. Listen, as you may have gathered from my very poor synopsis, this book in particular and this series in general are complex as hell, but I’m going to try to lay out why I enjoy it so dang much.įirstly, the story structure is pretty unique.
Can he thwart the plans of an undead wizard, his father, and his brother from another life? And as matters escalate, Kihrin makes an even more shocking discovery about his dark destiny. But he quickly realizes that being a long-lost prince is not the fairytale it sounds like, as he contends with an abusive father and the deepening mystery of a conspiracy.
Street thief Kihrin makes a shocking discovery one day - that he is, in fact, the scion of a noble house. You’ll need a re-read to make sure you haven’t missed anything big. With The Memory of Souls releasing this year, I took the time to re-read because trust me. I finally got over whatever weird hangup I had last year, bought the book, and then had an immensely enjoyable romp through it in two days or so. I don’t know why, because it sounded right up my alley, but I was. When The Ruin of Kings first came out, I was strangely resistant to purchasing it. It is time, finally, for me to review the Chorus of Dragons books.
