Week 10 Reviews: The Memory of Souls, The House of Always

From Goodreads:

The Memory of Souls is the third epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons series.

THE LONGER HE LIVES

THE MORE DANGEROUS HE BECOMES

Now that Relos Var's plans have been revealed and demons are free to rampage across the empire, the fulfillment of the ancient prophecies—and the end of the world—is closer than ever.

To buy time for humanity, Kihrin needs to convince the king of the Manol vané to perform an ancient ritual which will strip the entire race of their immortality, but it’s a ritual which certain vané will do anything to prevent. Including assassinating the messengers.

Worse, Kihrin must come to terms with the horrifying possibility that his connection to the king of demons, Vol Karoth, is growing steadily in strength.

How can he hope to save anyone when he might turn out to be the greatest threat of them all?

From Goodreads:

For fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, The House of Always is the fourth epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons series that began with The Ruin of Kings.

What if you were imprisoned for all eternity?

In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed.

The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

Now they face a choice: can they save the world while saving Kihrin, too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they have all sworn to destroy.

My Review:
Loved, loved loved reading these books! This series has been utterly fantastic, and I've really enjoyed watching Kihrin over the course of these books, and boy, has a lot gone down! I just couldn't put them down, they were so freaking amazing!

The Memory of Souls really kicked it into high gear. There was a lot going on, and I just couldn't put it down-and it was all pretty high stakes. There was a lot of political maneuvering and plotting, and characters with history that is vital to what's going on now. And that ending! Wow, that was so intense, and mind-boggling to think about!

And then The House of Always. I had no idea where this book would go, but I had to know what was going to happen next. I was most interested in the present, with them at the house, and Kihrin dealing with the aftermath of what he did at the end of Memory of Souls, but watching everything leading up to the present was an important part, even if it was dark.

We learned so much in these two books, so much happened, and I have no idea how it's all going to play out. Just the scope of this series is incredible, the history of this world and these characters. I just love it, and I need to read the final book now! 

Loved reading these books, and I'm so excited to read the final book!
