This is the second book in the series A CHORUS OF DRAGONS.
You should absolutely read the first book, THE RUIN OF KINGS, before you read this one.
If you read this review without having read the preceding book, there will be spoilers – so don’t read the review until you have read the preceding book.

Kihrin lowered his pack to the hay-strewn ground. “I’m sorry, ma’am, but there’s been a mistake. No one here’s expecting me.” The old woman looked surprised. “You ain’t named Kihrin, then?” The young man, who definitely was named Kihrin, managed not to pull out any weapons. Barely. “Who gave you that name?” “Your woman said you’d be along” This is the beginning of THE NAME OF ALL THINGS. Though Kihrin still plays a large role in this book, the role of Janel Theranon is just as large and important. Kihrin is not really sure, what her role is – but he has met her before and is quite smitten. Janet believes that Relos Var possesses one of the most powerful artifacts in the world – the Cornerstone called the Name of All Tings. Soon the plot thickens – a lot of threads spread out, some visible others hidden. In the fashion of epic fantasy everything gets more complicated. …..and then of course we have dragons to mess up things. But JENN LYONS keeps it all together and this book makes her whole universe bigger and still more fascinating without losing clarity, while still adding more characters and problems to solve. I love this series.
