As the Shadow Rises by Katy Rose Pool
5.0
Once again I was blown away! The first book was a whirlwind of craziness, and the second book is again.
It does have a bit of a slow build up, mainly to show where all the characters are and what they’re individually doing. They each are trying to figure out what to do going forward whether that’s to stop the Age of Darkness, or to redeem themselves. It then builds up to this crazy climax where everyone literally shows up in the same place again. Lots of twists and turns and backstabbing again, which just keeps you at the edge of your seat the whole time. And although there a lot of POVs, I never felt overwhelmed. They’re all done so well, and I never became confused.
This book was fantastic. It gave me anxiety the whole time and kept me at the edge of my seat wondering what will happen next, will my favorite people be okay!? I can hardly wait for the next book!
