Really disappointed by this book. I'd been hoping for something on the same level as Arcanes storytelling, but this felt hobbled to the lore in a way Arcane never did. It jumped from scene to scene, with little time spent on the motivations behind the actions beyond occasional "Haha, Viego's such a bad king, amirite? And crazy too!" It could have done so much more with the body horror leading up to the reveal, but it felt like the author was just given 0 room to work in.

Very well written. The story loses steam at some point between 30% and 50%. But after that point, it becomes great again. I know the story, but the addition of other characters and many Easter eggs was genuinely interesting. League needs to release more novels.
