A review by jnwunder
Castle of Lies by Kiersi Burkhart
3.0
I received a copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review of the book.
I had high hopes for this book because it seemed somewhat like others I have liked in the past. However, it suffered from too many POV characters that just were not different enough. Bayled and Corene mehh and then Sapphire was just kind of bland. Would have benefited from being Persifal/Thelia POV or them + Sapphire.
The random incest and sex was…. meh. There were some really interesting seeds here but the book tried to tackle too much. Would have been better if it reigned it in and focused more on 1-3 POV characters and more world-building.
