When Junior Scribe Gareth is given the unenviable task of tracking down Keiran to inform him that he and his street performers are not to make themselves known during an important trade visit, he expects the task to be unpleasant. He does not expect to be intrigued by the mysterious, elusive man that is rumored to be a bastard prince, and whom many say would make a better king.
Neither does he expect that one frustrating meeting in the city slums would send him and Keiran stumbling into the path of a murder—and a conspiracy to kill the king.
Rights of Inheritance Asserting Rights Book 1 edition by Sandra Bard Literature Fiction eBooks
This story is great in many ways but suffers from shoddy editing. There were some very obvious spelling and grammatical errors that I would've expected only in a first draft, not a final one, that the author or any test readers should've caught on just a single read-through. I also thought that having so many different points of view detracted from the main plot, and I found myself skimming sections, like the flashbacks, or the sections with Caluth, Conrad and Ilma. Not that I didn't like getting their points of view, but they could have been cut down a great deal.Be that as it may, I still enjoyed this book a great deal. All of the characters had depth to them, they were multidimensional and nuanced, and while most of them did things that frustrated me at times, I also cared for them. I thought the worldbuilding was well done and the scenery and background very well fleshed out, and it was written well in general. While the plot lagged in points it was still exciting, and the twist at the end has me dying to read the next book. I feel like the series has a lot of potential, and I just hope the author spends a little more time on her editing for the next one.

Junior Scribe Gareth has his hands full when he’s tasked with finding Keiran, the King of the Street Performers, at the request of the King. Little did he know that being in the Lower District would lead to an attempt on his life and the realization that some very dangerous individuals are within the city with one goal in mind killing the King and all those who have the potential to rule. With the help of Keiran, Gareth might just uncover more than who these assassins are… he might just find a little love, too.
This story was so captivating. From the start you’re thrust into a city where something dangerous lurks that will kill anyone in their way. It’s a brutal story in some places and has some deception, betrayal and manipulation. On top of that, some characters die, some get injured… some even come close to dying. It’s suspenseful at times and sweet at others. I must warn readers, though, that this isn’t a story revolving around a romance. In fact, while the connection between Keiran and Gareth is there from the beginning, when they finally take that step to a more intimate level, it’s… well, rough and not very romantic. There’s some guilt and there’s passion but, in the end, the story is purely fantasy and actually has multiple POVs outside of just Keiran and Gareth.
As for the characters, I loved the differences between Gareth and Keiran. Where Gareth is just a scribe, he’s still appalled at how Keiran lives and the people he surrounds himself with. Whereas Keiran finds amusement and frustration in pretty much everything Gareth does. But the two can’t seem to stop what they’re feeling, even with their vast differences, even though they don’t want to feel any attraction towards one another. It’s sweet in a way, although I know some won’t think so but I loved that about them. A majority of the story is about them arguing over opposing opinions… until about the end.
As I said, the story has multiple POVs and with a few side stories to tell. Such as Caluth and Tajeel, the King and his loneliness, Princess Ilma and her magic, and even Keiran’s sister, Tissca, and her discovering of unmonitored thefts. With all these characters, there’s a lot of depth to the story but also a lot of shocking moments. It’s a gripping tale that had me fascinated from beginning to end.
While I loved the story, I had a few issues with it. Mostly, I felt like there were some scenes that were unnecessary to the overall story, as well as, some lengthy passages that didn’t add to the plot. Also, I found the transition between present time and flashbacks to be confusing. For most of them, there was no indication that led the reader to believe they were flashbacks. Instead, it was regular narratives explaining how Keiran met a character then all of a sudden it would turn into a flashback. It was a little disorienting. Beyond that, this one did have a lot of typos, missing commas, grammar errors, etc.
In the end, I really did love the story to the point that it kept me up late each night reading. Although, I did wish there were more scenes featuring Gareth and Keiran and their tentative relationship but I liked the progression of the story. There was a lot of speculation at the end of who the mastermind behind it all was and what might happen next but as this is the first of a series, I’m not surprised we are left hanging but I can’t wait to see it all unfold!
The book is a good read with many interesting characters. I hope it's the start to a series (I'd love to hear more from the characters)!
This book was just mesmerizing! Sexual tension, hidden assassins, intrique, shy scribes, angry snarky mothers and sisters and I love how it intermingles the intrigue happening now with glimpses of them as boys when everything was harmonious and the were pals with an invisible bond. I also love the contrast with the world of the street performers, the court and hints of the daemon kingdom. The world building is great and the men are hot and yummy!
