Description

Becoming king is incredibly costly. It costs blood, and gold, and a thousand gambles. But lying is free, as long as you never get caught. Jasper is a sharp-tongued nobody, full of anger at a life he's mostly wasted. He's never thought of himself as even a pawn, because he's simply not that useful. But the God of Fools isn't looking for a hero in Jasper, only a useful distraction. Jasper's role is to draw the anger of the powerful and oppressive gods in the Ardish pantheon, while the real heroes, plucked off Earth by the same divine plan, raise the true rebellion. Once again... life seems determined to make him the punchline of the joke. But if Jasper really does change -- if he takes advantage of his second life, and his ability to lie, scheme, and cheat -- there's still the faintest chance to defy the expectations of his own divine patron. The chance to become a king.

A decent read but it stopped abruptly before the MC could do much of anything. And why exactly did he just stand by and do nothing, not even throw out a rock or something in the middle of the meelee? And you have to know his old friend Hewit got himself captured and peached on the bandit group.
So the 'Coward' will eventually have a bone to pick with the 'Traitor'.

I loved this story when it first came out and I am loving it even more now. the world building is looking to be great with rich history and a complex story that involves 2 factions fighting (or losing) for control. Love the main character, he is quite unique and enjoyble to read, side charactera are likewise very distinct and well written.
Really hopes this story keeps going, would love to see it to the end!
