*Rating 4.5*

Okay, I'm just going to start off by saying that this book was freaking amazing, and epic and I cannot wait for the sequel! Especially after that last chapter, and the last page, like WHAT!!?? I don't know how I'll be able to wait when this book isn't technically out until September, haha! If you're looking for an amazing high fantasy with incredible world building, fantastic characters, and a stellar plot, look know further! If you love mystery and lots of political intrigue, you'll love Rule. Also can we talk about how almost all of these characters are described as people of color and we also have a queer main character!

Okay, like I mentioned above, one of my favorite things about this book is the world building! As a writer myself and knowing how hard it is to create such a vastly different world from my own, I feel it's something I appreciate even more. This was such a refreshingly unique world and I loved learning about it. From the religion, to the politics, to how things are run, etc, etc. I do wish we could have seen a little more of it, more so then just hearing about it, but I completely understand that doing so wouldn't really serve the plot in this book. Nevertheless I do hope, maybe we can see more of it in book two.

Of course the plot and story itself was amazing and truly kept me on the edge of my seat! I was hooked from chapter one and this constantly kept me wondering what was going to happen next. There were a lot of twist and turns that were revealed that just kept adding to my love for this book. I'm going to be honest, as the book kept creeping closer to the end, I thought it was going to disappoint me. I had thought I already guessed who was behind everything, and nothing too crazy was happening and nothing would shock me how I love to be in books. But, I was totally wrong! Those last few chapters completely turned my opinion around and like I said before I just loved that last chapter especially. I just have so many questions now!

I also loved the characters in this book, especially, the three sisters of course! They are all so vastly different from each other which I just loved seeing. I think Ellen Goodlette did a pretty good job on weaving three very different stories together in a way that makes sense and just telling the story of three completely different girls, raised in completely different ways. If I had to pick a favorite character I think I would probably have to choose Akeylah! I think she was the one I related to the most, and the one I would be if I was thrust into this world and situation. I think Zofi is a close second though! I just adore how fierce and strong she is. I also loved Vidal and Rozalind, like a lot! I hope we get to see way more of both of them because both of their stories interest me so much.

I think the only reason I'm knocking of half a star is because sometimes the narratives for each sister could sometimes feel a bit repetitive. This wasn't obviously a huge problem and didn't happen at all that often. I just felt like similar things happened to all three of the girls so it could feel that way in some parts of the book. Also I'm an impatient person sometimes and some chapters would be left on a cliff hanger from one girl's POV and then we would jump into another completely different POV and we would have to wait a few chapters to come back to the other POV. Which of course is important to the story but I just want to know what's happening like instantly, haha! Though these couple of things did bother me a little, it really wasn't like a super huge deal and obviously didn't effect my enjoyment of the book that much at all.

Basically in short, this book was so, so good and I HIGHLY recommend picking it up when it's released in September! And of course I'm way too excited about the sequel because I must know what's going to happen!

Rule Ellen Goodlett Books Reviews

The story of three intriguing characters start fast and just keeps running. Their unique backstories kept me rooting for one, then the other, then the third. But then the twists kept coming too I can’t wait for the sequel!
Having recently met the author (on her worldwide travels), I was excited to read this book. I enjoyed the thoroughness of the world and characters that Ellen created. I had to keep reminding myself that this was her first novel!
Fron the first page, the story is gripping and I couldn’t stop reading through. The story is incredibly well paced, explaining things without meandering too long, and not rushing through to leave you confused and wondering.
All three girls come from totally different backgrounds, but they each share something in common - besides the fact that they're secretly royalty! They're each hiding a secret, and when you learn what those are (not gonna spoil it!!) trust me, you'll want to stay up all night to finish this one.
Ellen Goodlett's "Rule" is a fabulous fiction debut about three strong women. They may inhabit an incredible fantasy world created by the author, but Zofi, Akeylah and Ren are survivors suited for our times. The book is a page-turner with twists, deceptions and dark deeds at every turn. The mystical kingdom of Kolonya – and its uniquely powered characters – ranks with the magnificent civilizations created by Tolkien and Rowling. Delighted to hear there's more "Rule" to come!
The concept of the blood arts was very cruel, and The author captures the intrigue of a royal court in such a way that Cersei Lannister would feel right at home.

What I liked most was that all three sister characters are unique and well-drawn. I felt completely invested in three very different characters. In most books changing perspective I find myself speed reading to get to the “good” one. This was a page turner where I still savored all three stories.
The mysteries in this book kept me guessing the whole way through. I thought by the end that I had figured it out but no, I had not.
Warning Be prepared for a cliffhanger end. If you're usually a mystery or thriller reader, or if you're a Pretty Little Liars fan, I think you'll like Rule!
This is Ellen Goodlett's debut novel, written while she traveled for a year to a different country every month, and it shows her great talent and promise for more great books to come.
