Kingdoms of Death (Sun Eater #4) by Christopher Ruocchio ★★★★☆: I couldn’t stop. There’s something about the story line and the gradual reveals that makes me really captivated. This was a much harder book to read, probably owing to Hadrian’s experiences. I’m a little confused about the contrast between going down a path with no foresight past this point and earlier books narrator proclaiming some of the visions after this point had happened. I’m guessing it’s a continuity problem, a retcon, or something that’ll be settled in the books in the future. This one ended at a weird point and really did not feel like a conclusion: both unsatisfying and immediate.
