    Fantastical High Fantasy!
  

*by O***N on Reviewed in the United States on December 27, 2012*

What happens to the land, the people, and the kingdoms when the magic fades? In Falling Kingdoms by Morgan Rhodes, the power may have faded, but the tensions between three kingdoms, one affluent, one starving, and one teetering on the edge, are ever present and growing.Auranos is the land to the south where the people are prosperous and food is plentiful. Cleo knows not all lives are as fortunate as her own as the princess, but she has no idea just how bad things have become outside her kingdom's borders. Her father, the king, believes in the freedom of choice among his people, even if that includes a failure to worship either one of the goddesses whose deaths have resulted in the dwindling magic in the land. Limeros is the northernmost kingdom where a madman runs the kingdom. his son, Magnus, has no idea what his father is capable of, including kidnapping and raising a girl said to be the last sorceress, Lucia, as his own daughter while he punishes his subjects on the very suspect of magic.But it is the kingdom in the middle, Paelsia, where the people suffer the most. As Cleo and the arrogant boy she will most likely be forced to matter travel through the land, Aron, find themselves in a small scale class war over a case of wine, Aron kills a local boy and sets off a revolution against Cleo's home. Now the slain boy's brother, Jonas, is determined to kill Aron, and more importantly, his bloodlust for Cleo based solely on her upbringing leads him on the path to revenge. But the key behind all of this is the magic that has faded from all the lands since the two goddesses killed each other. What Cleo, Lucia, Magnus, and Jonas have no understanding about is how they will all come together: four young people from four wildly different backgrounds who all have one thing in common: preservation. What sets them apart is what they will do to preserve their way of life.Magic, magic everywhere, how to be truly original? I don't know, but Morgan Rhodes does! This was your true high fantasy novel that is right up there with Cashore's Graceline, Marchetta's Finnick of the rock, and Chima's Demon King. You need some fantasy in your life and can't wait any longer? Start this series. It was such a whirlwind of different situations and different people, but the way they all came together is magnificent. I found myself rooting for the rebels but sympathizing with the prosperous nation hidden behind their boundaries and walls. I felt bad for the twisted Magnus while simultaneously wishing someone would run him through on the battle field. I wanted Jonas to avenge his brother's death, but I didn't want him to harm Cleo. I couldn't believe Auranos could sit by and watch their neighbors suffer, but their king was not a bad man. This is not a novel that gives you an easy out. You won't predict what happens in this book. And you certainly will have no idea who to get behind, but there is one thing I can guarantee: you will love this story.It was a beautiful high fantasy novel chock full of mystery and intrigue. It is one of the best I have read in a long time and falls right in the same league as all my favorites like Cashore, Marchetta, and Chima. I loved this novel and cannot wait to see where Rhodes goes with it. The story is fine for all ages, but like a lot of high fantasy, might need a more mature or stronger reader to keep up and keep everything together to really enjoy it. My only peeve? Why do author's need a pen name? Do they really think we can't distinguish between different genres from the same author? It seems silly, but since Rhodes gave me this to read, I suppose I should keep my peeves to myself! Great first novel, and I can't wait for the sequel!

    A nice book!
  

*by B***N on Reviewed in the United States on February 9, 2021*

A bunch of teenagers trying to save an entire kingdom. Magic that is supposed to have disappeared, but seems to be lurking around. Characters with dark pasts and raw emotions.Falling Kingdoms has some of my favorite tropes in Young Adult Fantasy literature, and characters with the potential to remain in my memory for a long time.A murder opens the book, an action that sets off the events that will bring three Lands to the brink of war.The main characters are all teenagers, and they come from different Kingdoms, with different upbringings and different goals. They are not friends, not allies, but they all have one thing in common.They want to save their own Kingdom from falling.Under the pretense of wars, the actual objective is the research of the Kindred. I won’t tell you anything in detail, but the kindred are four stones that can control the four elementia of magic (air, water, earth and fire), and if possessed all, they make one invincible (Thanos vibes).The character I like the best is probably Jonas, a peasant from Paelsia, who is mostly driven by revenge. I think I like him because he’s the only commoner amongst the characters, and his ideals are very clear.Second on my list is Magnus, Lucia’s brother and heir to the throne. Now, I think I might grow to like him a lot, but for now, I am a little concerned about his taste in women. One woman in particular, who is not only unavailable, but also very very wrong. Aside from that, Magnus is probably the hottest character in the book. He’s the classic bad boy, with a quick temper and a thirst for power that will make him take a very questionable path.Third is Cleo, princess of Auranos. She is the first main character we encounter in the book, and she has quite an important role in the story. For that reason, I feel like it’s easier to have an opinion about her. I put her third because she is that kind of princess I don’t particularly like; spoiled, unaware of what happens outside the castle, gullible and a little annoying at times. She gets better by the end of the book, but I will have to read what happens next to decide whether I can like her or not.Finally, we have Lucia, the princess of Limeros, a country covered in ice, where everyone except her seems to be absolutely void of emotions. She doesn’t have a big part in the first book, and she kind of just stays there, pretty and kind until the very end. The main reason why I decided to put her last is that she doesn’t have a very big personality, and she even does a terrible thing during the war, for reasons I still cannot understand. She seems like a weak character, but hopefully, she will get better.On the other side, while I liked the story and the characters, there is one thing I did not like. In the book, we have mentions of creatures called the Watchers, who are supposed to be observing the humans. I understand the mystery, but it really annoyed me that by the end of the book I still had no idea who these Watchers actually are.I am not talking about their role. We have different names popping out throughout the book, and none of them is introduced. I was really confused and couldn’t understand the structure behind their society. Hopefully, we shall find out more about them in the next books.To sum things up, I think Falling Kingdoms is a very entertaining story. I would recommend it to anyone who likes young adult novels spiced up with fantasy, romance, intrigues, betrayals and secrets.
