The instant New York Times bestseller An desertcart Best Book of 2024 A Goodreads Choice Award nominee, Readers' Favorite Fantasy An Indigo Best Book of 2024 An Apple Best Book of 2024 (So Far) It’s the season for treason… The king of Yusan must die. The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the god king Joon. He has it coming. Under his merciless immortal hand, the nobles flourish, while the poor and innocent are imprisoned, ruined…or sold. And now each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness―from the hired hit man seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance. They can agree on murder. They can agree on treachery. But for these five killers―each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal―it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other…but only one can take the crown. Let the best liar win. The Broken Blades series is best enjoyed in order. Reading Order: Book #1 Five Broken Blades Book #2 Four Ruined Realms Book #3 Three Shattered Souls Review: I did NOT expect that! - There is something so satisfying about watching six people walk into a room, knowing every single one of them has a motive... and then trying to figure out who will betray whom first. Five Broken Blades completely scratched that itch for me. It gave me serious Knives Out vibes with its web of secrets, shifting alliances, and constant suspicion. Just when I thought I had someone figured out, another revelation would make me question everything all over again. One of my favorite parts was the multiple POVs. Every character brought something different to the story, and instead of feeling overwhelming, it made the mystery even richer. I found myself equally invested in each perspective because everyone had their own agenda, their own lies, and their own reasons for being there. The pacing kept me turning pages, the tension never let up, and I loved trying to piece together the puzzle before the characters did. It was clever, addictive, and full of those moments where you have to stop and say, "Wait... WHAT?!" If you enjoy fantasy with political intrigue, morally gray characters, found enemies forced to work together, and a mystery that keeps you guessing until the very end, this one is absolutely worth picking up. Now excuse me while I immediately move Four Ruined Realms to the top of my TBR because I need to know what happens next. Review: A Vibrant Debut Full Of Danger & Secrets - Five Broken Blades is a dark fantasy inspired by Korean myth, lengend, and culture. It weaves multiple POVs together until they all collide together. Each person has their own moral code, their own dangerous secrets, and their own agenda and I loved how just when we thought we knew someone something else was revealed. I found each character to be distinguishable and multi dimensional. They each had multiple layers to their personality. They could all be soft and sometimes sweet only to turn around and show how lethal and secretive they can be. It makes them feel real with their own flaws but it also makes it feel like no one can be trusted because while yes each character has their own weaknesses and secrets, there is an underlying vibe that everyone is holding something even bigger close to their chest. This helped the pace keep this quick, sharp, and urgent consistency. I would say this is light fantasy romance. It has some kissing and suggestive moments but it’s all fade to black. I really enjoyed the diversity and LGBTQ+ rep inside the pages. Could I have used a bit more smut with my romance? Duh but hello I’m not gonna hold that against the book as that is just my personal desires. There was a romance between two characters that I didn’t quite enjoy as much but that’s not to say I out right hated it. I think I just need it to be explored more deeply because it feels more surface level compared to the others. But the little pockets of romance we got was great and brought even more tension between these characters. Five Broken Blades was a heart pounding, suspenseful, and twisty high stakes fantasy. I was immediately sucked in and found it hard to put down. This was such a great read and I need book two asap after that ending.
