Happy Publishing Day to @maicorland and this fabulous nearly 500 page book that I devoured in less than 24 hours 🙃

I’ll be chatting with Mai on Saturday at @pghbookfest so I was super lucky to get an early copy of this one. Long books can intimidate me, but I couldn’t put this one down.

King Joon is the ruler of Yusan, and many believe that he is a God king. And yet… there is a secret plan to overthrow and kill him that will bring together strange bedfellows from across the kingdom. Each has their reason, and their plan seems likely to work as long as they can all trust each other. But they are all keeping their own secrets…

Stories with rotating narrators can be so hard to pull off, but works so well here. We jump from one unreliable narrator to the next as we learn about our characters and their plan.

The world building! The twists and turns! These characters! It kept me on my toes and I am VERY excited to see where it goes next.
