The Discord of Gods marks the epic conclusion to Jenn Lyons's Chorus of Dragons series, closing out the saga that began with The Ruin of Kings, for fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss.
THEIR CONFLICT COULD END THEM ALL.
Relos Var's final plans to enslave the universe are on the cusp of fruition. He believes there's only one being in existence that might be able to stop him: the demon Xaltorath.
As these two masterminds circle each other, neither is paying attention to the third player on the board, Kihrin. Unfortunately, keeping himself classified in the 'pawn' category means Kihrin must pretend to be everything the prophecies threatened he'd become: the destroyer of all, the sun eater, a mindless, remorseless plague upon the land. It also means finding an excuse to not destroy the people he loves (or any of the remaining Immortals) without arousing suspicion.
Kihrin's goals are complicated by the fact that not all of his 'act' is one. His intentions may be sincere, but he's still being forced to grapple with the aftereffects of the corrupted magic ritual that twisted both him and the dragons. Worse, he's now tied to a body that is the literal avatar of a star — a form that is becoming increasingly, catastrophically unstable. All of which means he's running out of time.
After all, some stars fade — but others explode.
My Review:
Well this book was utterly fantastic! I've been loving this series from the beginning, and this was an amazing conclusion! I loved how things went down, and how things wrapped up! It was really fitting for this epic series!
With how things ended with The House of Always, I had to know what was going to happen next! What with Kihrin in the body of Vol Karoth and all. Things progressed really quickly-from the ending of The Ruin of Kings, to the showdown in this book is about 4 months. It's insane how much has happened in such a short period of time, and how big it's been!
That reveal about the demons? It was so logical, given what we knew, but I just wasn't expecting that. But wow, what an impact! And how it plays into Relos Var's plans, well, it's just one more reason why he's the villain in this series.
I loved that ending! I loved the plans that were made, and how they worked out, to varying degrees of success. And the threads that weren't tied up, well, they were left in a pretty great place. Though I would've liked to have a bit more time in the aftermath, with a few specific questions about some characters who weren't mentioned...
Loved reading this book so much, and I can't wait to see what Jenn Lyons writes next!
