Posted: 23 Sep 2021, 07:18
[Following is a volunteer review of "The Kings' Assassin" by Ed Cannon.]
The kings' assassin by Ed Cannon is a novel that speaks of power, greed, bitterness, and magic. Sallik the youngest Illician prince fled from the hostility of his stepbrothers only to be summoned back telepathically by a dying father. He returns to find all of his family dead and buried and has to assume the throne as King. However, he has to avenge his kinsmen before he is deemed worthy to lead his people. In the quest to avenge the crying blood, he meets friends and foes, traps and challenges as his adversary tries to assess his true strength and ability.
In his, work Ed portrays that the social aspect of humans is unbeatable whatever the circumstances. Amid travel, one can lose a lover and amid war, one can find love. The social part of man is a demand that gets satisfied in every situation. Ed tries to show the importance of having sound social judgment, making allies when needed, and avoiding trouble if possible.
Ed also brings out nicely how lust and greed lead to dead ends when all that aid in assassinating the royal blood in a quest for the throne receive the same dreadful fate. Evil is a master of its own, follows no protocols, and signs no treaties. Once under its clutches your fate is written and cannot be undone.
Ed also carefully shows the use of magic in both lights. He writes of how others shun it and regards all its use as evil and the others accept it and use it to a good cause. He challenges the minds that the use of magic is possible to every human just that the humans limit their minds to what they can understand.
He uses suspense in every chapter almost every page forcing one to turn pages and read the book in almost one sitting. His language is simple and excellent as well. Skillfully he build communities and kingdoms and tied them together with a single thread so that the activities of each are somehow known by the other. He emphasizes that the strongest are only as strong as their weakest allies. Ed also shows the need for teamwork whatsoever the cases as unity is strength.
I like how real Ed is in his writing, he shows that the strongest also have weak points and are subject to fatigue like everyone else. In his writing, he cautions on over-exertion of any kind and reminds us everything has a limit.
I did not dislike anything in this book. It was exceptionally edited and I found no errors in my reading. I recommend this book to people aged between thirteen and twenty-five.
I would like to rate this book at 4 out of 4 stars.
