Because of course books about girls with blades will be popular.

In search for a random book that looked interesting, I came across A Broken Blade. It turns out this one got more recognition once it appeared on booktok but who knows?🙃
Short summary: The King's assassin is chasing a dude named the shadow and ends up getting involved in a revolution to overthrow the king with the love interest who lied at the end.
Long Summary: It is supposed to be a Game of Thrones meets Throne of Glass and let's just say it falls flat on both ends because it veers off and does it's own thing. (No, like seriously Mortal's landing had me cackling each time it appeared!) Sure, political intrigue is there (barely) as well as the romance but it remains interesting because of the characters and royalty who always remind us that it does a GREAT job at hating their relatives and doing chaos.
It was an amusing read to say the least. Will I still read book two to see if said love interest gets stabbed to death? Probably. But in the meantime, I will continue wondering why it got all the hype it supposedly got on booktok🤣
Overall: 4/5 stars
