The Bone Shard Emperor is the unmissable sequel to The Bone Shard Daughter, one of the biggest fantasy debuts of 2020 - a captivating tale of magic, revolution and mystery, where a young woman's sense of identity will make or break an empire.The Emperor is Dead. Long live the Emperor. Lin Sukai finally sits on the throne she won at so much cost, but her struggles are only just beginning. Her people don't trust her. Her political alliances are weak. And in the northeast of the Empire, a rebel army of constructs is gathering, its leader determined to take the throne by force. Yet an even greater threat is on the horizon, for the Alanga - the powerful magicians of legend - have returned to the Empire. They claim they come in peace, and Lin needs their help to defeat the rebels and restore order. But can she trust them? Praise for the series'One of the best fantasy novels I've read in a long time . . . This book is truly special' Sarah J. Maas 'Epic fantasy at its most human and heartfelt . . . inventive, adventurous and wonderfully written' Alix E. Harrow 'Brilliant world-building, deep intrigue and incredible heart' Megan E. O'Keefe

#serieslove2024 Book 2 of the drowning empire series picks up with Lin as Emperor but tons of rebels trying to usurp her. Lots of betrayals and politics as Lin tries to hold onto her reign and help her people, all while uncovering the secrets of the Alanga magic. This one was slower than the first book but I still have to read the next one as I can‘t get enough of Jovis! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I found this one a little slower than the first. There's a lot of time spent on the politics which I didn't hold my attention. Still one of the best fantasy worlds and one of the most unique magic systems I've ever read.

Next row of my #readinglogsnake is The Bone Shard Emperor. I am a fan of the Drowing Empire series and felt this was a good follow up to the first book. The magic system is interesting, but there are still alot of items that are still a bit hazy in explanation. Maybe they will become clear in the next book. 4/5 ⭐️ #ARRCReads #BooksAndCrafts

🎧 The second book is the biggest of the trilogy.

The Emperor is dead. Lin finally takes the throne but her problems are just beginning. She‘s not trusted & her politics are weak.

A rebel army of constructs is organizing and the leader wants to take the throne by force,

A group of legendary powerful magicians have returned to Lin‘s empire to make things worse or help restore peace?

Book 2 of The Drowining Empire. This series has a fascinating magic system and wonderful main characters in Lin & Jovis. However, this second book definitely drags in sections. By adding more character‘s perspectives it lost my interest. Every chapter that strayed from our two protagonists made me want to put the book down. However, the last 1/4 of the book is epic and I look forward to more in this world. 3.5⭐️

Book 2 of the Drowning Empire series was just as good as the first. Lots of characters, great storytelling, and a few surprises along the way. I cannot wait to see what comes next!

December is always a busy month for me at work, so I‘m pleased I managed to read this much. Especially considering two of these were over 600 page chunksters.

Best of the month was The Bone Shard Emperor. I also loved Making Money and Bewilderment.

BkClubCare Interesting mix! I have read Washington Black and tried to rec Dictionary of Lost Words to my bookclub. 3y
Soubhiville @BkClubCare I read Lost Words for bookclub. Interestingly, I really liked it but I was the only one of 6 or 7 of us to give it a high review. 3y
BkClubCare @Soubhiville - LOL! Funnily enough, I expect the same response with my club. They do not get my reading tastes. #sigh 3y
Andrew65 A great month of reading 👏👏👏 3y

Loved this just as much as the first one! And now I‘m wishing the third was out because of the ending 😱.

I love Andrea Stewart‘s worldbuilding, and her characters, and that there are animal characters! The magic system is original, there are floating islands, and the kinds of bad guys who you feel maybe could have been good guys if the situation was slightly different. Good stuff!

Yes there is an ostrich on my tree. 🤗

DivineDiana I love the ostrich on your tree! ❤️ 3y

Lin‘s challenges against her claim to the throne mount as she deals with a hesitant people, calculating governors, a rebel army, & awakening artifacts. She has to decide if she‘ll follow in her father‘s footsteps or forge a new path.

Lush worldbuilding, fascinating magic system, and interesting characters! A lot of POV switching, which took some getting used to, & the romance didn‘t land for me, but I‘ll be looking forward to the 3rd! 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌑

Nessavamusic I loved the first book, looking forward to this one! 3y
