Everything epic fantasy should be: rich, cruel, gorgeous, brilliant, enthralling and deeply, deeply satisfying. I loved it.--Lev Grossman, author of The Magicians

When destiny calls, there's no fighting back.

Kihrin grew up in the slums of Quur, a thief and a minstrel's son raised on tales of long-lost princes and magnificent quests. When he is claimed against his will as the missing son of a treasonous prince, Kihrin finds himself at the mercy of his new family's ruthless power plays and political ambitions.

Practically a prisoner, Kihrin discovers that being a long-lost prince is nothing like what the storybooks promised. The storybooks have lied about a lot of other things, too: dragons, demons, gods, prophecies, and how the hero always wins.

Then again, maybe he isn't the hero after all. For Kihrin is not destined to save the world.

He's destined to destroy it.

Jenn Lyons begins the Chorus of Dragons series with The Ruin of Kings, an epic fantasy novel about a man who discovers his fate is tied to the future of an empire.

It's impossible not to be impressed with the ambition of it all . . . a larger-than-life adventure story about thieves, wizards, assassins and kings to dwell in for a good long while.--The New York Times

A Tail-Wagging Triumph: The Dog Snuffle Ball – Interactive Puzzle Dog Toy
Color: Green
Behold, the Dog Snuffle Ball—a toy so ingenious, so joyous, it might just be the pinnacle of canine entertainment! This isn’t merely a toy; it’s a symphony of stimulation, a carnival of enrichment, and a therapist rolled into one delightful ball of wonder. At first glance, it appears unassuming—a soft, colorful orb that’s almost too cute to resist hugging yourself. But the moment you tuck treats or kibble within its folds, magic happens. Your dog transforms from a curious onlooker to an intrepid explorer, embarking on an epic quest for buried treasure. It’s as if their primal instincts awaken, and suddenly, they are the Sherlock Holmes of the snuffle world. The brilliance of the snuffle ball lies in its multifaceted benefits. It’s a mental workout, sniffy fun, and slow feeder all rolled into one glorious package. Training your dog’s sense of smell? Check. Keeping them occupied for hours? Double check. Preventing boredom and destructive behavior? Oh, you bet. Watching your dog experience pure, unbridled joy as they unravel its mysteries? Priceless. And let’s talk versatility: This marvel isn’t just for dogs. Cats, rabbits, and even the occasional curious human (yes, I’ve tested it myself!) can find delight in its interactive design. Its soft, durable material ensures that pets of all sizes and ages can join in the fun without fear of injury or wear. The snuffle ball is also a hero of stress relief. For pups prone to anxiety or mischief, it channels nervous energy into productive play, transforming would-be chewers of shoes and shredders of cushions into happy, focused furballs of contentment. To the masterminds behind the Dog Snuffle Ball, I offer a standing ovation. You’ve created a toy that’s not just fun—it’s transformative. It turns every mealtime or treat session into an adventure, fostering happiness and health in our beloved companions. The verdict? Every pet needs this toy. Not some, not most—every single one. Buy it, toss it, and prepare for a tail-wagging extravaganza of sniffing, pawing, and pure bliss. 🐾✨

Great puzzle, even better complimentary squeaky carrot
Color: Red, Color: Red
Our dog is a Jack Russell mix and needs near constant interaction. In the winter, it gets so cold that we can't always get him out for long enough periods of time to satisfy his poor bored little brain. I've tried so many puzzles. He gets frustrated and bored quickly, and ends up just barking at them. One game that he loves in winter though, is what we call "the blanket game" and it's when we hide one of his favorite toys in an old blanket, wrap it all up, and then let him loose to find the toy. He can play this game over and over, for over an hour if we have the energy. So, when I saw this ball, I knew I had to try it. He loves it. He begs me to let him have it at least once a day and it gives him a good 5-10 minutes of play. He'd play it more if I let him have that many treats, haha. But I had to say that, true to form, his REAL favorite part of the puzzle ball was the complimentary carrot toy that came with it. He is obsessed with the carrot. He carries it everywhere. It goes to bed with him. He never loses it, always knows exactly where Carrot is. He even knows the word "carrot" now, after only a week or so of having our dear, beloved Carrot. I can ask him, "go get Carrot," and he brings it right to me. It is the only toy he ever brings me now. The squeaker is long dead, he killed it within the first couple days, but he still chews it relentlessly, listening for the little air puff sounds it makes now. So anyway, the ball is great. Love it. But the carrot? Is an epic find. I included a picture so you can see how utterly filthy it is from how much he loves it (don't worry, it's going in the washer). Thank you for this random carrot. It might be the best thing to happen to our weird little family this winter.

Basic Starter Puzzle, But Not Very Durab
Color: Red
This toy is more like a level 1 puzzle—it doesn’t take long at all for my 1-year-old, 5 lb Papillon to figure it out. The ball part is sturdy enough, but the cloth sections are very soft and not durable. I worry about him tearing into it and possibly swallowing threads, so I only let him play with it under close supervision. If you just need a simple puzzle to introduce your dog to enrichment toys, this could work. But if you’re looking for something that lasts longer or provides more of a challenge, this isn’t it. Pros: • Works as a very basic starter puzzle • Ball portion is fairly sturdy • Good for quick enrichment sessions Cons: • Cloth material is soft and easy to damage • Requires close supervision to prevent chewing or tearing • Not challenging for dogs beyond beginner level Overall, I’m giving it 3 stars. It does the job as an entry-level puzzle, but it’s not durable and doesn’t offer much mental stimulation. UPDATE: The company reached out after my review and provided good customer service, which I really appreciated.

Surprisingly durable
Color: Yellow, Color: Yellow
*** UPDATE/EDIT: I bought this thing back in February 2024 and ten months later with nearly DAILY USE this bad boy is still going strong!! You can see in my video, filmed just now, that it's still in one piece and that despite the frequent play, she still LOVES it. It smells like rubber, which doesn't smell like roses to me... but all rubber toys are going to, and that's ok. I'm just so impressed with the durability. Really, really impressed. Between interest, durability and value, I say if you are looking for this kind of toy you should get it if your dog is an appropriate size. Ten months of daily, hard use of throwing, fetch, chewing, travel, overnights in the elements, you name it. There's no reason not to. It's the perfect chew toy IMHO. *** ORIGINAL REVIEW SEPTEMBER 2024: My Goldendoodle is great about destroying every chew toy I give her. She doesn't ruin shoes, she doesn't counter surf (ok she does, she just doesn't take anything) and she has learned to leave the scrunchies and socks where she finds them. Even the remote is safe. (She'll hide it, but it's not destroyed.) So the chew toys get completely mangled because they get her full attention. This toy? It has survived the worst of her chewing attention. Being a cardiac service dog, she goes everywhere with me, including trips, and this toy always gets packed. It's great to throw because it has a "handle" and chucks really well. She carries it easily, like a pacifier lol. And it somehow has survived. It's a bit of a challenge to get treats inside, so if your goal is to stuff it frequently, this might not be the right toy. But it's possible. As for durability, this has been in the top two or three for my girl. Worth the money. Keeps her entertained, which is important, lol...
