Manipulator’s War (Ruarnon Trilogy Book 1) by Elise Carlson – Review by Moriah Venable

Manipulator's War (Ruarnon Trilogy, #1)Manipulator’s War by Elise Carlson
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Ruanon is the heir of Tarlah, this involves lessons in fighting, history of the kingdom and more importantly how to run the Kingdom that will one day be theirs to rule. Because they are non binary, Ruanon works twice as hard to prove themselves to their father who is the current King.

The dangers of ruling over a Kingdom hits Ruanon in the face one night when their parents are kidnapped after a foiled assassination attempt. Now Ruanon is unsure of who to trust as they attempt to rule the kingdom and prevent war from a neighboring Kingdom.

Lihn finds herself in an unknown location while on a school trip to Australia. How did she get there? And more importantly, how does she get back home?

I really enjoyed this novel. It was fast paced and unpredictable. I couldn’t wait for both storylines to come together and how it would.

The main character being non binary is what cause my attention the most. It is not something I’ve seen before in the fantasy genre.

I saw that this is supposed to be a trilogy so I can’t wait for the next book.
