In the first book I had a clear OTP (one true pair) that continued into the second but everyone seems to kiss everyone at some point and Morgan constantly makes you question where the characters' hearts lie. Usually I read some interaction between two characters and latch on, unyieldingly. I've never been so undecided about love interests in a book.

When reading the book it's a little strange attempting to slip into this strange world straight away that has many characters in many places, but over time, you stop needing the (very helpful) character list at the front and can just enjoy the story. The characters are all very individual and very flawed, and as there are a lot of them trying to explain how much they need to read this book it's hard to coherently describe the links and all of the characters. As the books progress the characters you'd want on the throne become far more numerous, and characters you previously might've hated, start to grow on you. It's interesting to read the points of view from different sides of this war. Everything that occurs after is the fallout from this move. The first book starts off with two of the countries of Mytica deciding to usurp the king of the other country, Auranos. It is full of intrigue, betrayal, lies and love (even some mistaken incestuous desire) just like Game of Thrones, but containing less explicit content. However, Falling Kingdoms has many different points of view from all over the continent and they all interlink with each other in the storyline.
