Falling Kingdoms is an interesting first book of a series that holds much promise. I gave this book [?][?][?] but I believe that the series might improve as the books continue. 
 The plot is split between three kingdoms that hold tension upon one another. We follow four characters...well three but the fourth ties into the third character. The plot twists the threads of the story together. You watch the tensions brewing from all three sides of the conflict which allows you to get a good grip on this new world. 
 This book had a bit of everything. There was adventure, magic, myths and legends, fighting and politics. It has been marketed as the YA version of game of thrones and so far to my knowledge that how it's shaping up to be.
