Welcome to Litsy!

I really enjoyed the first book of this series, which was a very unique sci-fantasy horror. This feels totally different and nothing has happened the first third of the book and I‘m just bored so DNFing. I do highly recommend book 1, which can be read on its own though!

This sequel to THE HELM OF MIDNIGHT picks up about three years later, is less of a genre mashup and more straight-up high fantasy with a modern edge. Again Lostetter balances three perspectives and multiple timelines. I especially enjoyed the new characters added though I appreciated the return of familiar ones, too! The audio performance is well-done and this moves at a fast-pace that makes me eager for the next installment!

🎧 I loved the world created in The Helm of Midnight & at least 2 of the 3 main POVs!

Can‘t share who lives/dies/disappears in book 1 but I loved 2/3 of the main POVs in this book too!

The magic, world, relationships, characters, story all expand!

Child stealing? Wasn‘t thrilled with them.

The Regulators? Still fascinating.

The more I read the more I was captivated & couldn‘t put it down.

If you liked book 1 you‘ll love book 2!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️3/4
