Quest of Shadow And Ruin Book Review

Quest of Shadow and Ruin

By: Ryver Knight and Kris Ruhler

I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.

Good Reads Synopsis:

A thief. A bounty hunter. A journey to save their loved ones.

Andi swindles Folkway’s cruelest men for a living. When her best friend Eris goes missing, she vows to bring her back. Using only her wits, she traces Eris’s last whereabouts to the wealthy General Nox.

Apprehending Andi is Caden’s only hope of paying off his family’s debt to General Nox. But his plan goes awry when the wily criminal escapes. After Caden is kicked out of his bounty hunter faction, his best bet is to strike a deal with her.

Their arrangement seems sweet and simple: he leads her to Nox; she pays off his debt. But nothing is ever as it seems.

As they embark on a journey through unfamiliar waters, forests infested with mysterious beasts, and a city full of lies, their time to confront Nox is trickling away. War is spilling into every land, and the secrets between the two travelers threaten to expose their true faces.

When every step is a struggle, can they make it to the general in time?

Or will they lose everyone they love?

Book Review:

I had a great time reading this book. It is fast paced and non put downable. I love how the two main characters got along knowing that they have lied to each other. I also liked the idea that they will do anything to find their friend and brother at any cost. I am surprised that the citizens of the town they went to didn’t question why they were there alone without an adult. I also liked how they figured their way out the situation they found themselves in. Otherwise this book was great.
