The Shadow Throne by Django Wexler

5.0

Even better than the first book! While this story had very little focus on magic, it was packed with political intrigue, conspiracy, tension, and deception. The story was excellently woven and I was immersed throughout. We were introduced to new, awesome characters like Raesinia and my personal favourite, Jane. Raesinia has an excellent secret that she carries with her that makes her highly interesting to me, and Jane is one of the toughest, coolest characters in flintlock fantasy. Old favourites like Winter and Marcus returned, and had their backstories furthered and deepened, which I really appreciated, especially in terms of Marcus. One thing that I truly loved was the realistic portrayal of women during the times, and watching those women knock down every barrier placed in their path, which made the ending even more satisfying and something I want to see grow in future books. This continues to be a great series for fans of military fantasy, and I can't wait to see what happens next!
