The Ruby Throne - Author Unknown

[Geek Mama]

It was suggested by someone I know that I read a series called The Ruby Throne or something incredibly similiar. He wasnt too sure of the title and I didnt catch what he said the authors name was.

If anyone could help me out, Id really appreciate. Im looking for the name of the author for this series.

Since I've never heard of it, I consulted Amazon. n.n" That website is so useful. I love it. Anyway, to continue.

Reign of Shadows (The Ruby Throne Trilogy, Book 1) by Deborah Chester.

Shadow War (The Ruby Throne Trilogy, Book 2) by Deborah Chester.

Average customer review is three stars.



So, unlike most series, it seems to get worse to people as it progresses. All of them are out in paperback, according to Amazon. Short summaries, though, huh? I'd give my opinion, but as I've said, I've never even heard of the books before this. I just cheat. n.n

Thanks!

Cheating or not, its been really useful. Ill have to see if the library has that particular author and their work.

It kind of makes me apprehensive since it seems to get worse as it goes on, but that could be for various reasons.

Not a problem.

t could just be that people who liked the first books didn't review, so they reviewed the series as a whole. Or jsut the personal tastes of the people. I didn't look at the reviews, just the average.

That series sounds interesting. I will have to check it out. I don't go by the reviews much. A three stars isn't that bad.

I often dont look at reviews at all, to be honest. Im quite content to simply pick out a book and start reading.
