Review: Falling Kingdoms

Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4.5 stars. I like Game of Thrones and I loved how this reminded me of the TV show (the book somewhat as well, but this is definitely written in a simpler style than the books as it is intended for a YA audience). It was its own story, but it definitely had the elements that I enjoy from Game of Thrones (political intrigue, betrayals, deaths from unexpected people, etc.). Although it is sad when characters I like die, I appreciate books where anything can happen and nobody is safe. Isn't that how life really is? I loved the characters and the world. It was just complex enough for me to have to pay attention but not become too confused.

One criticism I had heard about the book was that it was sort of your typical YA fantasy and to similar to what is already out there, but I didn't find that to be the case. I thought the story was unique and clearly and exciting beginning for a long new series that I can't wait to read more from. I already got the second book out and I'm listening to it now! I hadn't planned to read this whole series right away, but I am now thinking I might binge-read it. :) It's a good one!!
