Winning is not everything, but wanting to win is. If you want to win so badly, then all your actions will be towards winning. The Rise of King Asilas by JV Torres is one such book that shows how a person with perseverance works in the present to win the future. This book shows that even when everything is against you, a sane, calm mind will take you places.

The story begins by showing the strict patriotic side of General Asilas, who will do anything to keep his country safe from traitors. Certain groups of people start revolting against the government in the United States. This is because they wanted a single-party government, and when they couldn't meet their political aspirations, they went underground. General Asilas was also working under the Ordo, which was trying to make America ruled by a king. So many cunning conspiracies are happening. What will happen? Who exactly was General Asilas? Did he succeed in his mission? Read The Rise of King Asilas to learn more.

I liked the characterization of Asilas's character. A strict superior, a loveable husband, an angry patriotic military man, a promising leader, a loyal friend, and an empathetic soldier all come together in one person. A perfect blend of most of the human natures depicts that he might be the perfect king for the world. I found the initial few chapters involving the angel and the ordo to be disoriented. I felt they could have been more clear. Otherwise, I had no issues with the book. The author has presented an interesting storyline, for sure.

I would give the book a rating of 4 out of 5 stars. This is because of two reasons: One would be the first few chapters involving the Angel and the Ordo being unclear. The second would be the ending of the book being less interesting. It did not give me the urge to read the sequel. Otherwise, I found no errors in the book. So I would say that the book was exceptionally well edited.

I would recommend this book to people who like reading books with unique storylines. I would also recommend this book to those who like books on monarchy and violence.

General Asilas seems ruthless against his enemies but at the same time he seems intent to betraying everything he claims he stands for trying to rise to absolute power. Thank you for your great review!

This book certainly has an original plot idea, that is always something I enjoy finding! I wonder what time period this book takes place in. If it were to happen in modern times, that would be so fascinating. I love the political aspect of this work and am drawn to your description of the character himself. I'm imagining what it might be like to have a "King of the World" - crazy! It made me a little sad to read that the ending did not make you want to read the sequel, this sounded so promising :( I enjoyed reading this review, thanks so much for sharing it with us! Until next time...
