Publisher's Summary

"Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it." (Lev Grossman on The Ruin of Kings)

You can have everything you want if you sacrifice everything you believe.

Kihrin D'Mon is a wanted man.

Since he destroyed the Stone of Shackles and set demons free across Quur, he has been on the run from the wrath of an entire empire. His attempt to escape brings him into the path of Janel Theranon, a mysterious Joratese woman who claims to know Kihrin.

Janel's plea for help pits Kihrin against all manner of dangers: a secret rebellion, a dragon capable of destroying an entire city, and Kihrin's old enemy, the wizard Relos Var.

Janel believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world - the Cornerstone called the Name of All Things. And if Janel is right, then there may be nothing in the world that can stop Relos Var from getting what he wants.

And what he wants is Kihrin D'Mon.

Jenn Lyons continues the Chorus of Dragons series with The Name of All Things, the epic sequel to The Ruin of Kings

Not what the first book was, but not bad

I count The Ruin of Kings among my favourite books of 2019. In comparison, this sequel falls flat. The style (mixed 1st and 3rd person) that made so much sense in book one is forced here. The story, recounting Janel's tale during the years of TRoK, detracts from the momentum that the first book built until it feels like you're spinning your wheels in place.

That being said, the footnotes were even funnier in this book. The characters were very interesting and complex and I liked the exploration of morality. And the world building? Spectacular!

Not as good as the first book

Fell short of expectations; however, still a good read. Looking forward to the next book in the series.

Too woke really fast

I enjoyed the first book of the series. The story is intriguing, telling is great and you have some bisexuality, not a big deal. This book, in chapter two, you have the love interest of the protagonist, a female that identifies as a man but will sleep with either gender. This is too much, so clearly this book is not for me.
