I really loved learning more about Lola and Jac’s backstories, especially more about Levi and Jac’s friendship. Each of them has their own goal and main focus/partnership, and it was really interesting to see the inside perspective from each and how everything connects at the end. And as a person that often struggles with multiple POV narratives, it completely worked for me here. King of Fools is told in three points of view: Enne, Levi, and Jac.

Vianca Augustine particularly is disturbingly interesting, and if you pre-order this book you will learn a bit more of her backstory and how she met Levi in the free short story that is the pre-order incentive.

Guard your hearts because if you were emotionally destroyed during Ace of Shades… uh… yea. The City of Sin was built on duplicity.”įriends, this was one of my most highly anticipated sequels of 2019 and Foody did not disappoint! There is a lot going on in this sequel and there is never a dull moment, but the narrative is easy to follow and infectious. New Reynes killed the queen the very day she hoped to negotiate peace. “Oaths, omertas, Chainers – there’s a reason so many in the North Side favor such weapons.
