The Usurper King

3.5 Stars

First up I want to say thank you to the author for providing me with a PDF copy of this book in exchange for my honest review. Going into this book I didn't know anything about it besides what I read from the synopsis of it. I definitely thought this book was going to be a little out of my comfort zone but it sounded intriguing so I decided to give it a try. I was really into the story and wanted to know how things were going to play out. It was weird be it had me hooked. I had a few issues with it though. First was the use of a certain word that I absolutely hate and I hate it when people just throw it around like it's nothing. Next was “extispicy” which is the practice of predicting the future by reading the entails of sacrificed animals and apparently used to actually be a real thing. While those parts weren't graphic I still had a hard time accepting that animals were being sacrificed that just isn't for me at all. Like I said I did enjoy reading this but it wasn't something that I absolutely loved but I also didn't hate it. It was more of an ok read for me.
