Rachelle's Reviews > The Boy who was King

The Boy Who Was King by Erin Mc Luckie Moya out March 20th

I normally don't read different kinds of books I stay with in my romance novels and my random fandoms but as I have had readers block I thought this might be what I need to get out of it. I was super exited to read it but I was worried about a few things as it's hard for me to get into a book so I was worried it might take forever to read, I was wrong I read it in less then a day!

Before finishing the book I want to talk about all the things that I'm already loving about The Boy Who Was King, the writing style. It's not a long book so at first glance at the Chapters and how may pages I was a little worrisome it's 29 Chapters across 106 pages but already I can tell this book will give me what I need out of it. Erin doesn't drag on Chapters it's not filled with overly detailed sentences its vividly to the point. where I can still picture everything in my head clear as day but she doesn't waste the pages going over into detail. She gives us everything we need to know and the story line is so good you don't have time to question the little things. It's been a long time since I read a book that had me hooked this fast!

Okay so this is the first time in a long time that I truly got lost in a book even though short I normally don't finish books in one day, but I couldn't put it down! I loved this book it made me cry and left me wanting more! The Boy Who Was King, tells the story of Azure's life, and his story was told. I'm not left with to many unanswered questions. Erin did say this was a standalone and it ends just that way; as a standalone. But I also wish it wasn't a Stand alone I would be happy to read Noa's side of the story or Nadia or Rivka's Stories. Over all I 100% recommend picking up a copy when it comes out.


Like I said before I was a little off put about reading this book at first as normally my style of books are no where near this one but I feel like this book can be read by anyone regardless of what you normally read many lessons are taught over so few pages and I honestly fell in love with the whole thing, it does tackle some hard subject and does have a trigger warning but even so it was amazing. This is a book that I would put in my own personal library and I will be getting a hard copy as soon as I can!
