The House of Always

By: Jenn Lyons

Narrated by: Lauren Fortgang, Vikas Adam

For fans of Brandon Sanderson and Patrick Rothfuss, The House of Always is the fourth epic fantasy in Jenn Lyons' Chorus of Dragons series that began with The Ruin of Kings.

What if you were imprisoned for all eternity?

In the aftermath of the Ritual of Night, everything has changed.

The Eight Immortals have catastrophically failed to stop Kihrin's enemies, who are moving forward with their plans to free Vol Karoth, the King of Demons. Kihrin has his own ideas about how to fight back, but even if he's willing to sacrifice everything for victory, the cost may prove too high for his allies.

Now they face a choice: Can they save the world while saving Kihrin, too? Or will they be forced to watch as he becomes the very evil they have all sworn to destroy.

Love the story

I love the story so much as this point. I love her development of characters and how everything weaves together.

The issue I find is only with the love stories. She is pushing the LGBTQ agenda so hard it’s hard not to notice. To me, it seems forced as times or even not needed. I wish she would relax a bit as some parts don’t seem necessary.

Besides that point, I love this series. Excited to start the last one now

Exquisitely Entertaining!

If you’ve followed the story thus far I assume you’ve enjoyed the first three books in the series. T.H.of~A (fourth book) will be an absolute delightful experience. Indeed to not continue would be like observing an indigenous species to a famine wasteland of which, someone finds a pool of nutrients (created from the nectar of gods) only to allow said nectar to expire in front of said starved looking “someone”. Seriously though
The characters have only become ever more broadened and deep. Even as the main characters growth continues with a velvety richness. It seems the author has a perfect recipe as the story continues. Giving the reader a perfect amount of time to retain the info as more of the characters are soaked up easily into the emotions that make you give a damn. The world has been built and is now doing a stretch with a flex. I’m ready for the next strike.

Unique story-telling

I love that this book focuses more on what's going on with the supporting characters on the events happened in the previous books. I love the unique story-telling Jenn Lyons built in this book.

I'm looking forward on the final book!

Continues to be a great read

As always the unusual story telling structure of going back on forth from multiple view points and a non-linear story line makes it a little difficult to follow at first, but stick with it. The story is always great and the continuation of the saga leaves you waiting for the next book.

wowza

man i love this series more than i can explain. this will always be a recommendation from me.

one of the best books I've ever read

overall a great book, and an excellent series. problem the best executed love triangle I've ever heard of.
but beyond that its not often a book looks you in the eye and succinctly breaks you down and put you back together. I needed to hear Lady D'Talus's monolog. I have openly wept for characters in books before, but this is the first time a book has made me cry for myself. Jenn Lyons has be solidly set as one of my favorite authors now even if the rest of the series weren't excellent. This will likely be my favorite book of all time. I eagerly await the finale.

Sappy, confusing storyline but a strong finish

The narrator who covers Kihrin's POV somehow makes me want to roll my eyes constantly. And that character spends an inordinate amount of time ruminating on his feelings. Overall the story is again a tangled web of I don't know what's even going on, but it somewhat comes together at the end. this series needs some sort of wiki to help keep all these characters and their back stories straight.

A bit stranger than the others

For me this book was a bit of an odd one out, ending was good and made me excited for the next book but this one was meh. The story jumps as it retells itself from past to present from each person's story. Possibly minor spoilers ahead, but everyone is very horny and it reads more of a fan fiction rather than the perspective of someone inside the mind of a dark God. Hope you like Kirin staring at legs

Great Part 4 of a Series

a solid fourth installment, not quite as perfect as book 1 and 2 but still brilliant!

This story is weak

There is no permanence do death, the writer lazily kills and revives characters every book. It makes the deaths meaningless. The plot is also very simple and overly horny. Overall just a mediocre author. The narration is great and the only thing that saves this series.
