Synopsis

Prince of Fools, The Red Queen's War: Book One had all "the hallmarks of [Mark Lawrence's] storytelling and writing style which made The Broken Empire trilogy such an incredibly addictive read". Now, The Liar's Key continues the story of the unusual fellowship between a rogue prince and a weary warrior. After harrowing adventure and near-death, Prince Jalan Kendeth and the Viking Snorri ver Snagason find themselves in possession of Loki's Key, an artefact capable of opening any door, and sought by the most dangerous beings in the Broken Empire-including The Dead King. Jal wants only to return home to his wine, women, and song, but Snorri has his own purpose for the key: to find the very door into death, throw it wide, and bring his family back into the land of the living. And as Snorri prepares for his quest to find death's door, Jal's grandmother, the Red Queen continues to manipulate kings and pawns towards an endgame of her own design.

This review contains minor spoilers. The Liar's Key is the second book in Lawrence's The Red Queen's War trilogy. I adored Prince of Fools which followed Jalan's escapades across The Broken Empire and therefore picked up this book as soon as I could. The survivors from the quest to the Black Fort a......more

Goodreads review by John

The Liar's Key presents the most extensive world-building thus far in the land of The Broken Empire. We follow Prince Jalan and his Viking companion, Snorri, as they journey from the frozen lands of the North (Norway) southward to Jalan's homeland of Red March and eventually to Florence. Jalan is tor......more

Goodreads review by Anne

I love Jalen. I love that he's a weaselly coward. I love that his memory is unreliable. I love how he seems to accidentally do the right thing when he means to do something self-serving.
