Five Broken Blades

The Story at a Glance:
The five most dangerous liars in the land have been mysteriously summoned to work together for a single objective: to kill the God King Joon.
Each of the five blades will come for him. Each has tasted bitterness―from the hired hitman seeking atonement, a lovely assassin who seeks freedom, or even the prince banished for his cruel crimes. None can resist the sweet, icy lure of vengeance.
They can agree on murder.
They can agree on treachery.
But for these five killers, each versed in deception, lies, and betrayal, it’s not enough to forge an alliance. To survive, they’ll have to find a way to trust each other… but only one can take the crown.
My thoughts…
★★★★☆
I absolutely loved this book! It has strong heist story vibes and is packed with tension from the very start. The story is told through six different POVs, which sounds like a lot, but it actually works really well. Each perspective adds new pieces to the puzzle, sometimes making you understand more… and sometimes making you question everything you thought you knew.
I love books that drop little hints and mysteries along the way, just enough to keep you guessing without revealing too much. Five Broken Blades does this perfectly. The plot took several unexpected turns, and that ending? I did not see it coming! Now I need to get my hands on the next book!
