My third to-be-reading of #2019 is Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes. I'm currently around page two hundred and to be extremely honest I'm having trouble. It's good, very good in fact (a New York Times Bestseller) but its not exactly my favorite so far. I'm really having trouble relating to any of the characters, things happen suddenly and appear to without much reason and it took up until page 150 to really get started. That said though, I really like the world-building techniques Rhodes utilizes. It seems real and authentic. I would also say that the themes in this are similar to that of Game of Thrones. There's magic, sorceress', goddesses, annoying stubborn kings with no mercy, and incestuous-like relationships. '' Amended after reading all of Falling Kingdoms : After finishing Falling Kingdoms I feel like I judged it too harshly. The last hundred or so pages were gripping and I ended up with the urge to keep reading until the end. I will be picking up the second one in the series, eventually. That's all for now...onto the next. As always, much love. xoxo -B
