Review: Four Ruined Realms (The Broken Blades #2) by Mai Corland

January 10, 2025 by Paige Leave a Comment

Four Ruined Realms by Mai Corland

I’ve started off 2025 with what may stay as one of my favourite books of the year. I loved Five Broken Blades and I think Corland has upped her game with this one! There is no second book syndrome to be found here. Four Ruined Realms keeps up the break-neck pace and builds on the relationships from the previous book.
