A brilliant continuation to a brilliant series. Mohanty is on the rise and just keeps going. I feel a re-read coming on!

Once again Gourav Mohanty has proven that he has a wild and vivid imagination, and the skill to tell us a dark and twisty story. One that likes to hit us right in the feels!

This book runs alongside his previous book, giving us the story of characters that were mentioned or had smaller roles in Sons of Darkness. Mati, Pirate Queen and soon-to-be Empress is not happy in her marriage, but she will soon have a chance to remedy that. Vahura is a Princess and librarian and is on a mission to save the world though she doesn't expect where her mission will take her. Duryodhan and Karna want to save a former lover from her fate, but fate has a different plan in store for them. Nala and her master Parshuram are following their destiny to meet the Son of Darkness, but alas it is not the man they think it is.

Once again, this was such a beautifully written, dark, twisty, political book that I had a hard time putting it down. Finding out what happened to some of these characters from the previous book (despite them being seen as side characters) was wonderful as some of them were my favourites. And while their actions may not be seen as super important to the main saga, their actions have lasting consequences. And I loved reading that,

A must-read, you will not be sorry.

This book was absolutely amazing and took me by surprise a couple of times. There were a lot of chapters with twists in them I didn't expect at all.
I was firmly kept on the edge the whole time.

The characters are, just like in book 1, we'll write have a lot of depth and the author have me the feeling they're real people. I didn't like all of them, but there are some I extremely favor, like Nala. Loved her in book 1 and it was the same here.

The world building is detailed and rich, and I had a lot of fun experiencing the different places with the characters.

Another big plus is the prose and the writing style of the author. Beautiful, not always easy to read, but worth the time and focus.

If you liked book 1, you're gonna like this one as well...happy reading!

Big thanks to Netgalley, the publisher and the author for providing me with a copy of the book in exchange for an honest review.
