A prisoner chatting with his monstrous captor.

A burglar stumbling upon a secret better left buried.

A royal heir sold into slavery, captured by a dragon.

Kihrin is all of them and though his story has three different beginnings it can only end one way and it's unlikely he will be alive to witness it.

Normally I don't post book reviews on my Tumblr but I finished the ruin of kings on the weekend and I haven't recovered since.

I dove headfirst into this tale, unsure what to expect and though it started out as a epic fantasy novel it evolved into so much more after the first hundred pages.

Kihrin is a character you either hate or love and in my case I just adored him my little sunshine deserves all the love in the world and a time out. Honestly give this boy a break.

This book comes with a whole set of complex characters, including the protagonist and every antagonist he has to face of... Honestly there isn't a single character who's motives didn't make him the hero of his own tale.

So huge shoutout to Jenn Lyon for not only providing me with my favorite read of 2019. But also writing an finishing arc that left me breathless on a Sunday night when I was supposed to prepare for school!

To every fantasy fan out there who is sick of stereotypical characters, go and buy this masterpiece you won't regret it... And those books really deserve a Fandom!

Thanks!

expand your vocabulary!

here’s a small list of cool words that my English teacher sent me some time ago!

I am Kest Murrowson former sword of the king, now shield of the queen.

I am Brasti Goobow the little bastard used to call me his arrow, now I am her jest.

I am Falcio Val Mond... First Kantor of the Greatcoats, and I am and will always be my. kings heart.

If you’re reading this: this is your sign that your WIP is worth writing, is worth the effort, and that you are doing great. Keep going, take breaks, reflect. But do not lose sight of how far you’ve come on this project! You can do it!

Warning to writers

While you are worrying about whether beta readers will steal your ideas, there is a more genuine threat on the horizon.

When offered a publishing contract, please do all your research before you sign. There are a number of fakes and scammers out there, as well as good-intentioned amateurs that don’t know how to get your work to a wide audience. I won’t tell the heartbreaking stories here - there are too many.

Being published badly is worse than being never published.

It can destroy your career and your dreams.

The quick check is to google the publishing house name + scam or warning.

But, to be sure, check with these places first. They aren’t infallible (nothing is) but they can help you protect yourself. They are written and maintained by expereinced writers, editors, publishers and legal folks.
