The Name of All Things by Jenn Lyons
4.25
I really enjoyed this. I definitely don't think it's as good as The Ruin of Kings, but it has a compelling plot and interesting and complex characters.
The format of the book mirrors book one, with dual main narrators and a third using footnotes, but they are three different characters. You do have to suspend disbelief with this gimmick, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. I also love the way each chapter begins with a totally different and usually very amusing one-liner about the events at the end of the previous book.
Most of the events of this book happen simultaneously with book one, so I'm very much looking forward to book three which I presume will serve as the sequel to both. I'm really hoping this series will turn out to be a favourite.
