Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Ashleyann Sanabria

Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Very fast pace book! I will admit, sometimes it took some concentration to follow. I loved the non-binary representation. Right from the prologue, it is clear that someone or something is working against the MC and that there is more to the issue than meets the eye. The book did not slow down from there. Ruarnon was pushed to lead earlier than they were expecting and it was great to see how their character not only overcomes adversity, but navigates with less than trust worthy people in their midst. Initially, Lihn’s storyline felt totally unrelated, but they blend together nicely. If you are looking for a fantasy book with non-binary rep, and non stop action from the start, give this one a try! I will definitely be looking out for the next!
