The wayward prince protagonists of these two trilogies make the same acquaintances and even pop up for the occasional guest appearance.


I’m currently reading the second book in Lawrence’s The Broken Empire, which coexists with The Red Queens War in the same literary realm. Actually, due to the quantity of action sequences, intermixed with critical plot twists in the final chapters of this trilogy, a reread would surely garner additional insights that were overlooked the first time through. Having thoroughly enjoyed The Prince of Fools and The Liar’s Key, the last installment was everything and more I could have hoped for, with the added bonus that Lawrence merged two of my favorite things, mythology and science into one satisfyingly complex conclusion. Taking a break from my SPFBO reads, I was eagerly looking forward to finishing The Red Queen’s War trilogy.
