I read these first few chapters super quickly and am now itching to when I can get my hands on the finished book!

I was so happy to receive an early preview of Four Ruined Realms through NetGalley, and I’m happy to say it does not disappoint. Picking up right where the first book left off, this sequel dives straight into the action, maintaining the series’ signature fast-paced, high-stakes tension. The plot continues to twist and turn as characters struggle with betrayal, secrets, and the ever-present question of who they can truly trust. Fans of the first book will be eagerly drawn back into the chaos. I can’t wait to finish reading when it releases on January 7th!

So excited to fully read this book. Very exciting and enthralling. It’s very important to read this I’m so excited

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this preview of the upcoming sequel to Five Broken Blades, Four Ruined Realms!

PUMPED!

I read the first five chapters so fast! What a great preview. I look forward to reading the whole thing soon.

I sped through this preview way too fast - I neeeeed the rest of the book ASAP! FBB was one of my favourite books of 2024 and I can't wait to see where FRR takes us!

I AM SO EXCITED

Five broken blades was one of my biggest surprises of 2024 - I kept hearing about this Six-of-crows-like, fantasy, political-intrigue-y new book and was not that excited for it, seeing that I do not really love love romantasy and am not the biggest fan of always trying to duplicate another authors genious plot. However, Five broken blades was much more than that and very different from the much-compared novel by Leigh Bardugo.

Following these pairings was extremely fun and whilst everyone had their moral downfalls, it was not really overplayed and annoying but funny and interesting. The twist at the end was kinda foreseeable but still shocking and will be the perfect segway to the second part of this series,

I am super excited to finish this book, thanks to NetGalley for providing an exciting preview!

Everything I wanted in the sequel. Perfection. No notes. I can’t believe we have to wait another year for the next book. My heart is shattered and put back together. Rip me.

Meh not into the whole everyone be against euyn thing and mikail being attracted to someone else this made me not interested in the sequel

that preview wasnt enough!! i need more and am desperately awaiting release day to be finally able to get my hands on my own copy of the book!! so perfect and twisty, i already feel at home with my favorite liars!!!!!!!

Just five chapters omg I need more!!! I have the first book and got it for my friend and I to buddy read. I am so excited to read the full sequel when it comes out! I think the writing in this book so far is really god and easy to follow. Hopefully the rest of the book will be as well.

a great preview! we got one chapter from each of the main characters POV. I am already excited to finish the rest of the book!

I loved five broken blades and have been anxiously awaiting this book so I jumped at the chance to read the preview. I loved it and cannot wait to read the entire thing! If you're a fan of six of crows I feel like you'll enjoy this very much. I also love the countdown style title and the consistency with the covers.

Shaping up to be an excellent series from this sample and Five Broken Blades. I do love character driven fiction and this series really is a character driven story as they’re all disasters in their own way. Looking forward to see where the series goes.

I was so excited when I saw this book listed because it’s one of my most anticipated releases of ‘25. When I realized it was only a preview, I was briefly disappointed but the 5 chapters made up for it.

It starts off with a pronunciation guide for all the characters & a little blurb about each one. As well as a quick summary of book one (genius ! I personally haven’t seen that before).

This previewed sucked me in just like book one and has me even more excited for the release on the 7th. Just like the original, this one has multi POVs and is centered around a heist.

The author also includes just enough references in the writing that you can remember details from the first book, without taking you out of the story.

What a great preview!!!! Left me wanting more! So glad I don’t have to wait too long. Fantastic story and I loved the little recap of book 1 in the beginning. These characters are so in depth and I love the Korean mythology and lore.

Thank you to NetGalley for providing a short preview of the book.

This book captures you in the world with even in the starting of the sentence, making me immensely concentrated and intrigued. The writing style is quite easy to get through, though it's quite modern, it's not much of a problem. The book releases officially in a few days, and the preview was as thrilling it could ever be for me<3.

Thank you Entangled Publishing and NetGalley for providing me an e-arc in exchange for an honest review. My review is my own and not influenced by others.

After I requested Four Ruined Realms on Netgalley I saw that it is a preview unfortunately instead of the whole book. But luckily the book will come out in three days. Entangled publishing will make another beautiful edition with this book and I can’t wait to put in on my shelves with the first book in this series.

At the beginning of this book there is a list with all the main characters and what role they have in this book, the pronounces of the names is also in this list. This book also follows multiple POV’s which makes it fun for me to read.
The beginning starts good and I can’t wait to read the rest of it after reading the preview.

I was waiting to read book one until book two came out, but I jumped at the chance to read the first five chapters even though waiting for the rest will KILL me! Such a great start. All the twists and turns, royal back stabbing and subterfuge… I’m hooked on this series and the second is promising to be just as amazing as the first!

Wow wow WOW!!!! I love Five Broken Blades and have been anxiously awaiting the best book, but after this preview I am even more excited!!

Even though this was just a short preview it give us such a good look at the tone and pace of this next book. I already know this is going to be great. Thank you NetGalley, Mai Corland, and Red Tower for this amazing preview. I can’t wait for the full book!
