Hi Cara,
Today on my blog I am reviewing the third book in Jenny Lyons A Chorus of Dragons series The Memory of Souls.
The Memory of Souls is out now in Hardback, e-book and Audiobook.
THE LONGER HE LIVES
THE MORE DANGEROUS HE BECOMES
Now that Relos Var’s plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfilment of the ancient prophecies—and the end of the world—is closer than ever.
To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the messengers.
Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to the king of demons, Vol Karoth, is growing steadily in strength.
How can he hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all?
The Memory of Souls is another fantastic addition to the A Chorus of Dragons series.
One of my favourite aspects of the series is the annotations. Another element has been added with Kihrin also making comments on what Thurvishar had written up. I especially when Kihrin pulls out certain things aspects of the story that he doesn’t want others reading. I also enjoyed the fact there is mention that other people in there would have read the first two books.
Jenn Lyons fits a lot within the 612 pages. There is always more to the story than you are made to believe. As well as having different storylines happening which no connection to the other storyline but is weaved together beautifully till they do connect. It works and makes sense.
Another aspect I enjoy is that you are unsure if the main characters are doing the right thing as the other powerful people have their own agenda. I find it interesting trying to figure it out and what everyone true motives are.
There is romance in The Memory of Souls, it’s great to see character find happiness and romance but not in the standard format. Also how gender is fluid, that people can change gender. Also that in some places in their world normal gender roles don’t apply.
The Memory of Fire is an epic fantasy book that has;
- Action
- Romance
- Dragons
- Demons
- Revelations
- Magic
- Drunk Wizard
- Fights
- Royal politics
- Life & Death
My Rating for The Memory of Soul is 5 out of 5.
