Official Review: The Kings' Assassin by Ed Cannon

[gen_g]

I am highly intrigued by this book but the thing that has me concerned is the political aspect...is it only political because of the fact that he must step up to become king while dealing with traitors or is there something else? I guess other than defining your interpretation of political intrigue it was a wonderful review placing this book on my to read shelf. thank you.

Ooh you're absolutely right. In this case, I mean political intrigue in the sense of court politics - Sillik is a younger son, and there are certain court factions that oppose his coronation; so, yes politics that are present in the fantasy world rather than anything in the real life. Thank you for stopping by! I hope you enjoy reading it.

I love a bit of political intrigue so think I'd enjoy this book.

And, it's a small thing I know, but I always appreciate a family tree with a complex story, otherwise I keep having to check back every five minutes to remind myself who's related to who!

I love a good fantasy novel with mystery and depth. The abrupt romance with poor lead-up would have annoyed me too, but I still think I want to check this one out. Thanks for the great review!

Is it bad that the mention of Paolini at the end actually turned me against this book? I wasn't fond of his books, but it did give me some insight as to how this particular book would play out. I could totally see how this came across as "rushed" and perhaps a bit too busy. It seems like this isn't for me. Great review!

I totally agree! That family tree helped me much as well. Thanks for stopping by!

Yes, I can certainly see how Paolini's books can be a turn off; I did find Paolini's books to be denser than required. Thanks for stopping by nonetheless, inaramid!

Thank you for your great review! This sounds like a pretty good book--pity about the slight under-development though

I'm a sci-fi/fantasy junkie from way back and this book sounds very akin to "Apollo's Raven," which I greatly enjoyed. I've put this one straight onto my "want to read" shelf. Thanks for the review!
