The Broken Throne series<\/a> is rough. Not in a technical sense, but in regards to the content. The protagonist is thrown directly into a horrible situation with no memories related to their new body and no power, then over the course of the series the same cycle of ‘come out on top only to fall further’ plays out with ever greater stakes. Perhaps worst of all is that the protagonist is a pacifist, for no discernable reason (especially after their backstory is revealed), and every time they act on that pacifism they get screwed over.<\/p>\n

I read though all five books of the first series, though I did have to skip through some parts, and I could not tell you what possessed me to finish it. Some vain hope of the protagonist finally developing some common sense perhaps?<\/p>\n

Regardless, Tears Of A Dying God<\/a> is where I have to abandon the franchise completely. Not only does it share the same problems as earlier novels (only far worse thanks to the power regression trope), but there are some minor technical issues as well. If you somehow made it to the end of the fifth novel I’d strongly, strongly suggest you consider that the ending and ignore this release completely.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
