Week 2 Review: Four Ruined Realms

From Goodreads:

The King of Yusan may be the greatest liar of them all.

His sister's ring is in his sights, and he will do anything to get what he wants. Even manipulating the five blades to steal it...

Bonded by a common enemy, then divided by deceit, the blades must rely on their skills to pull off King Joon's pursuit or risk his legendary wrath.

A foreign rule of law stands between them and Quilimar, the Queen of Khitan. Now they have one month to steal the powerful Golden Ring of the Dragon Lord. But that impossible task might be easier than trusting one another, even though their lives, their families, and the realms depend on it.

They can all agree on one thing: the king can't win. But can they beat him at his own game?

Because for the blades, this time it's not just personal, it's revenge. Lies may have torn them apart, but now vengeance will bring them together.

My Review:
This was such a great read! 

One thing that I was a bit worried about, was that this book came out pretty quickly after the first book, which was reminding me a lot of the release schedule of Fourth Wing and Iron Flame, which is a reason why people don't enjoy Iron Flame so much. I did, but I was worried that the quick turnaround time in publishing, which normally moves so slow, might've had a negative effect, especially since they're with the same publisher. But nope, I at least, had another great time reading this book! 

Loved reading this book, and I can't wait to read more by Mai Corland!
