Koré wants to destroy a man.

Koré knew that meddling in politics could end badly, particularly when trying to sabotage his aristocratic father's campaign before it destroys the city he has come to love. And when a chance encounter with a dying god imbues him with magic-breathing powers, it gets worse: he suddenly becomes a commodity—and a political player.

But the corruption in his city runs deeper than just one man, and an ally's betrayal unleashes an army of the dead on his home street. Koré must trust the world with his deepest secret to stand beside the woman and man he's finally let himself love, as only the bright truth of dragon's fire can break the iron fist of a necromancer's hold.

DNF

The plot synopsis lured me in but it was just weird and boring. Props to the narrator for suffering through the awful character names which were far more cringe than the typical bad fantasy names one comes to expect from every amateur fantasy author who thinks that throwing random sounds together is how Tolkein must have done it but the finished product comes across like someone who has never attempted to paint sees a Jackson Pollock and says to anyone who will listen “I can do that to”.

Amazing

Phenomenally written and touches on a ton of relevant themes., least of which is how people heal from the traumas in their lives.
