A review by effy
A Kingdom of Lies by Ben Alderson

5.0

 
Following immediately on from A Betrayal of Storms, Robin has claimed his power and throne as an Icethorn but his father is being held hostage by the Oakstorm king as penance for his son’s death. Robin desperately seeks a way to save his father and to fight against the dark future that Oakstorm seeks.

Wow! This book had so many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat from start to finish. I absolutely adored the romance in A Betrayal of Storms and somehow Alderson managed to massively up his game with this book to deliver something incredibly captivating and delicious.

I really appreciated the fact that there are really consequences and costs to characters’ actions and I love the way that I feel as though nobody is safe. There is something so delightful in a story where the characters don’t all have plot armour!

I can not recommend this book and series highly enough, I am utterly desperate to know where Robin’s story goes next!
