[Following is an official OnlineBookClub.org review of "The Sins of Kings" by Daniel Thomas Valente.]
Edlen's excitement grew as she made preparations to attend the tournament arranged by her royal family. Her dear friend Rhen was participating, and she eagerly anticipated showing her support. However, her teacher, Laustair, had different plans. He insisted that she remain behind and assigned her a massive book to read for the entire day. Despite this setback, Edlen, driven by her adventurous nature, formulated a plan. She returned to the castle, changed into ordinary attire, and stealthily slipped out through a window. Little did she know that tragedy awaited her entire royal family. If she had known, perhaps she would have stayed behind to read the supposedly "magical book" containing vital information. At the tournament, chaos erupted when an attack occurred, throwing everything into disarray.
On the other hand, we meet Darrin, a young boy who had recently joined Eyes of the Forest. His decision perplexed his father and family, who couldn't comprehend his desire to become a rover. While in the forest with his fellow rovers, they stumbled upon two cleanly amputated feet. Strangely, the boots adorning the feet bore royal insignia, implying they belonged to the Prince of Onyris. Questions swirled in their minds. Who could commit such an act? Were the perpetrators human, or were more dangerous and malevolent creatures lurking in the shadows, awaiting their chance to strike? They hurried back to the palace to present their grim discovery to the King, fearing it signaled an impending war. To uncover the fate of the kingdom and identify their enemies, read this book.
One aspect of the book that stood out to me was Edlen's character. Her rebellious and adventurous nature made her captivating, and I enjoyed experiencing her desire to understand the common people's everyday lives. Additionally, the element of suspense throughout the story, along with the inclusion of mystical creatures, added depth to the overall narrative.
However, one drawback I encountered was the overwhelming number of characters introduced early on. It was challenging to keep track of their perspectives and backgrounds. Nevertheless, once past that initial hurdle, the story flowed seamlessly. In conclusion, I rate the book five out of five stars. Despite the initial difficulty in acquainting myself with the numerous characters and their roles, I found the book thoroughly enjoyable and entertaining. The book was also exceptionally edited as I found no grammatical errors.
I recommend The Sins of Kings by Daniel Thomas Valente to adventure enthusiasts who appreciate themes of battle. However, I must caution sensitive readers that the book contains violence, bloodshed, and war-related activities. Additionally, it includes profanities that may not be suitable for all readers.
