A Deception of Courts by Ben Alderson
4.5
I love these books loads. They remind me of a queer “Throne of Glass”. Which is my favourite Romantasy series ever.
It’s getting harder to review these books without giving away the plot. So much has changed since Robin entered Wychwood near the beginning of “A Betrayal of Storms”. Robin is now a king and has Fey to lead. And although he has his insecurities and worries, he is also a strong leader and makes solid and sensible decisions. He is a character that I love and want the best for. Yet, he is surrounded by danger. And it’s just getting worse.
The stakes get higher in each book. I get so much adrenaline running through my body lwhile I’m reading. I don’t know how I’m going to cope in the final book, “A Game of Monsters”. I will probably need a good cry and a lie down when I’ve finished the series.
One of my favourite tropes is found family, and I adore the close group of people that Robin has established around himself. Their relationships are wonderful to read about and some of the scenes with the found family provide some light relief from the action.
This book is filled with twists and turns, like the other novels in the series. There are amazing action set pieces. And the balance between action and the development of character and relationships is perfect. Plus, there is some sizzling spice.
