Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Kaitlyn Leatherwood

Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson

If you’re looking for a realistic-fantasy world building trilogy this is the series for you. This book starts out a little slow but quickly pulls you in with its dynamic and diverse cast of characters. What most surprised me with this story is how human the characters were written. It was rewarding to watch the characters struggle with their place and positions they all have. Seeing the representation of Ruarnon as a Non-binary was amazing. This isn’t my first book containing an LGBTQ+ character but is my first non-binary and it was awesome seeing things from their perspective. I’ll be anxiously awaiting the next book on the trilogy.
