Beskrivning

In a world steeped in political machinations and dark secrets, the narrative unfolds around a young prince unexpectedly thrust into the limelight. Following the sudden death of his father and brothers, Maia, the half-goblin protagonist, finds himself the reluctant heir to an elven throne he never anticipated inheriting. His journey shifts from the shadowy corners of goblin life to the glittering yet treacherous courts of the elven realm, where he must navigate a landscape rife with betrayal and deception.

As Maia grapples with the weight of his new responsibilities, he confronts the complexities of identity and belonging in a society that sees him as an outsider. With his ascension comes an array of formidable challenges, from political rivals to the demanding expectations of court life. In this richly crafted world, every interaction holds the potential for both friendship and treachery, leading Maia to forge alliances while facing the harsh realities of power.

Ultimately, the story serves as a poignant exploration of empathy, the nuances of leadership, and the courage required to carve one's own path amidst chaos. Through Maia's eyes, readers witness the transformative journey of a young man finding his voice and strength in the face of overwhelming odds within the exquisite tapestry of courtly life.

Recensioner

5.0

Why did I wait so long to read this?The worldbuilding, complex right off the bat but you can tell Katherine Addison worked at making this society feel real. The characters, numerous but you only need to focus on the ones who keep showing up, just like in real life. Reading this plot about a leader who is dedicated to being kind and trying to learn how to be - and succeeds at - being competent in times like these, whew.I was legitimately angry to learn there's no follow-up to this book, but will go ahead and give the other books a shot. Not ashamed to admit upon learning there's no direct sequel, I went ahead and found fanfiction to satisfy my cravings (first time in a while!).
