Ruination: A League of Legends Novel Hardcover – September 6, 2022

I believe this is the first book in the league universe and it did it amazing justice. A great adaptation with so much information and beautifully written. Was hooked from start to finish and cannot wait for future books

First audiobook, was amazing with all the different voice actors.

This book reminded me a lot of the Mistborn books by Branden Sanderson. Ruination even called a specific relic space "The Well of Ages," which feels like a mix of the "Well of Ascension" and "Hero of Ages" from Mistborn. Ruination is a political fantasy, but also a character-driven fantasy. You are introduced to various characters, follow how they react to different situations and other characters, and a progressive overarching story that involves them all reaches a climax in part three. The writing style flows without being too high-brow and not too young/childish either. If you're a fan of fantasy that isn't overly pretentious, you'll like this book. If you are a League of Legends lore fan, you'll like this book. Highly recommended, and there better be a sequel that builds on the Sentiel storyline. Senna and Lucian, anyone!? And Vennix should be a playable character - just saying!

The only decent way to experience this story.

When I say I am a massive fan of this book I do not lie, I recommend not only the book but this specific version. There's extra content and full color photos in the book itself and the cover is gorgeous, the book box is also very sparkly

This story was very engaging, even though I knew how things were gonna end I was still invested with how the story progressed. The main character's struggle to do everything in their power to avert disaster but stay true to their bonds was heartbreaking but made me admire them so much more. I love League lore, just going through the story and recognizing elements from the game and other stories was super fun. Book confirmed just how deep these characters actually are and how they're more than just mascots, they're people with their own beliefs and values clashing against each doing what they believe is right. Don't think you even need to be a League fan to enjoy it, just a good story for anyone to get invested in.

League player or not, this book delivers! For fans of the game, "Ruination" dives deep into the lore of Runeterra, offering rich details and backstories for familiar champions. Even without prior knowledge of League, the story stands strong with its compelling characters and epic stakes. The narrative is a rollercoaster of action, emotion, and suspense, leaving you wanting more.

A friend recommended this book for our book club. I was hesitant at first because I don't know too much about the lore of LoL, but it turns out that you can pick this book up without a familiarity with the LoL universe. It is a very epic story that will keep you hooked and wanting the answers hidden in the next page just as much as the characters in the book. I highly recommend this book. Great job to the author Anthony Reynolds.
