Review: Legacy of Kings

Synopsis:

Imagine a time when the gods turn a blind eye to the agony of men, when the last of the hellions roam the plains and evil stirs beyond the edges of the map. A time when cities burn, and in their ashes, empires rise.

Alexander, Macedonia’s sixteen-year-old heir, is on the brink of discovering his fated role in conquering the known world but finds himself drawn to a newcomer…

Katerina must navigate the dark secrets of court life while hiding her own mission: kill the Queen. But she doesn’t account for her first love…

Jacob will go to unthinkable lengths to win Katerina, even if it means having to compete for her heart with Hephaestion, a murderer sheltered by the prince.

And far across the sea, Zofia, a Persian princess and Alexander’s unmet betrothed, wants to alter her destiny by seeking the famed and deadly Spirit Eaters.

Weaving fantasy with the shocking details of real history, New York Times bestselling author of Sex with Kings Eleanor Herman reimagines the greatest emperor the world has ever known, Alexander the Great, in the first book of the Blood of Gods and Royals series.

Plot:

It was the day before Jacob was leaving that he told Kat he loved her. The Blood Tournament was a battle to the death with the winner receiving a cash prize that would set the winner up for a good life. Promising to marry her as soon as he returns as a winner, Jacob was wary when Kat did not seem overjoyed. That is because Kat had one mission to do before settling down and marrying Jacob. She must kill the woman that murdered her mother, which is difficult because that woman is the Queen. Following Jacob to the Blood Tournament, Kat meets Alex, the heir, and son of the person she wants dead. Not knowing who Kat is, Alex takes her under his wing and makes her a noble lady at the palace. Happy to meet Kat, Alex is not too pleased that Jacob won the tournament, as he wanted his childhood best friend, Heph, to win. As Alex does not have access to the palace funds, he was going to take Heph’s winnings to travel and find the fountain of youth to heal his birth deform that left him with a limp. Where Heph has been distant lately because of Alex’s affection for another stray, Cyn tries her luck to separate the dynamic duo and convince Heph that Alex is out to harm him. With Philip II of Macedon leaving to fight a war, the Queen and the teenagers of the palace are out to play with lying, thieving, love, and matter of the past become uncover as another war is blooming, one that Alex, Heph, Jacob, Cyn, and Kat have been waiting for.

Thoughts:

What a fantastic world Elanor Herman has set up for themselves. There are not many young adult novels that take place in 330 B.C, and very few books in general written about Alexander the Great life as a teenager, which is why Herman dominated the market with this series. Doing their research, Herman takes a creative spin on the story of Alexander the Great, adding in a lot of characters, and constantly switching point of view. This story moves roughly around eight (nine?) characters, consisting of Alex, Heph, Jacob, Cyn, Kat, Zo, the Queen, and honestly probably a lot more characters that I am forgetting. As the chapters are not titled with which point of view you are following, you figure it out pretty quickly as Herman makes their names one of the first few words, as the location does not really help as the majority of characters are within the palace. However, despite having so many characters, Herman does an excellent job at keeping them all relevant and keeping their stories interesting so it does not drag when it's their time to shine. With five parts, Herman keeps the plot moving steadily as you switch between characters who have all secrets with each other. For historical fiction, Herman did take some creative liberties, and it will be interesting to see what they do with the series as the story progresses and Alex grows up into the great conqueror he is meant to be. I took a university class on Alexander the Great, so I will be definitely keeping a close eye on the liberties Herman takes throughout the series, but so far they are doing well as they accurately tell the tale of Alex’s and Bucephalus meeting. Herman is definitely setting up for a series, as this book does an amazing job with setting up the storyline and introducing a lot of characters, with an ending that fills in some questions but leaves much more open.

Ice Crystal

When Clark was exploring the fortress of solitude he found murals of a teenage boy on the ice walls. He frowned and followed the drawings to a room he had never visited.

That was odd, so he approached cautiously; it turned out, the room was empty beyond the drawings adorning the walls, which oddly looked like constellations. In the center was an ice table with a crystal glowing toxic green hovering over it.

At first, the Kryptonian thought it was Kryptonite but the crystal hadn't made him feel weak. In general, it didn't make him feel anything. He frowned and took the crystal in his hands, beyond causing him to feel cold nothing happened. He decided to put the crystal back where it was, determined to investigate it later.

Unbeknownst to Clark, a few minutes after he left the room the crystal began to flicker. A "Hello?" was heard around the room as a confused hologram flashed, Danny looked around the place with a frown before cutting the call.

Of course, Clark forgot about it rather quickly, and it wasn't until years later when Jon and Kon were exploring the place (clearly without telling Clark) that they found the strange room. Though contrary to Superman, they stayed and could hear the voice clearly.
