Book Review + Discussion: Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes

Title: Falling Kingdoms [Goodreads Link]

Author: Morgan Rhodes

Rating: 3/5 stars

General Thoughts: 

This book isn't something that's incredibly original, but that doesn't mean it's any less enjoyable because of that. It follows a varied cast of characters who are spread across the land of Mytica, where there is growing tensions between the three kingdoms. The characters are really strong and the plot is interesting but overall, it left a bit too be desired. There was a bit of insta-love in it that I was not a fan of and I felt that the pacing was really off at some points and it made the story drag. I definitely enjoyed this book but, after finishing it, all I feel like it's done is set up for the rest of the series and that the real story is going to begin in book two. I'm also hoping Rebel Spring explores the world a bit more too because I don't feel like it was developed enough in this book. I would recommend this if you are interested in a character focused fantasy!

Okay, now I'm gonna get into spoiler territory under the cut. You have been warned!
