A review by tracyreadslots
Manipulator's War by Elise Carlson

adventurous medium-paced

4.0

 

This is the first time I have read a book by this author, and I can honestly say I am very pleased I did read this book, the world building is well described and interesting and the characters are very diverse, both in where they are from and their gender, including a very well developed non binary character, alongside the definite male and female roles. 

In this book we follow Ruarnon and observe them grow into their leadership position and dealing with the neighbouring people under king Kyura (who wants peace, but the population want more land) and the strangers who have travelled through gateways to his world. 

Linh wants to get home to Australia, can they help Ruarnon, can they get home, through travel, sea monsters, battles this story takes you by the hand and walks you through this amazing world.
