Publisher's Summary

A ruthless young assassin continues her journey for revenge in this new epic fantasy from New York Times best-selling author Jay Kristoff.

Conquer your fear; conquer the world. 

Mia Corvere, destroyer of empires, has found her place among the Blades of Our Lady of Blessed Murder, but many in the Red Church ministry do not believe she has earned it. 

Her position is precarious, and she's still no closer to exacting revenge for the brutal death of her family. But after a deadly confrontation with an old enemy, Mia begins to suspect the motives of the Red Church itself. 

When it is announced that Consul Scaeva and Cardinal Duomo will be making a rare public appearance at the conclusion of the grand games in Godsgrave, Mia defies the church and sells herself into slavery for a chance to fulfil the promise she made on the day she lost everything. 

Upon the sands of the arena, Mia finds new allies, bitter rivals, and more questions about her strange affinity for the shadows. But as conspiracies unfold, secrets are revealed and the body count rises within the collegium walls, Mia will be forced to choose between her loyalties and her revenge.

A surprisingly enjoyable sequel

This is an outstanding sequel to the first book.

I genuinely thought I wouldn't enjoy the book, however it was riveting and compelling. Admittedly there were sections that were less enticing. Overall the feel remained true to the first book.

I enjoyed the character development, and whilst I didn't agree with the character actions I did find that the actions were true to character.

It was also satisfying to watch the word building and learn more of the dark.

I read the first book, so coming to terms with the reader took a little while. By the end I felt he fit the book well.

It's nice to listen to a book with a realistic female protagonist. She makes no apologies for being broken.

Dive right in

Dive into this series - it is action-packed and full of grim raw fantasy. Love it. We go deeper into the background story but it is still as good as book 1, ending with an almighty cliffhanger. Wonderful - do yourself a favour!

Knockout sequal!

So often a sequal to a really great book lets you down. Not this one.

Flawless

Honestly, I couldn't find a complaint to make here if I tried. Plot, character development, structure, they're all managed artfully and the voice actor is the cherry on top of an already ridiculous cake.

Fantastic but why does the person reading make Eclipses voice male

The story is great, predictable but still fantastic, although I’m not to keen of the reading, mostly because of the way Eclipse is described as being female but the voice the reader givers her is a very husky humans voice.

Ending was great

The middle section of the book was a bit slow and not very rewarding, there were so many weird loose ends that I didn't understand but they all came together perfectly at the end. Awesome ending, a little bit of commitment to stay till the end will be very rewarding

Perfect

Amazing story, amazing performance, an amazing listen. It doesn’t get better than this.
The writing is beautiful and the narration perfectly portrays each character. This book is just so enjoyable to listen to. It’s fun, exciting, heart wrenching, hilarious and bloody entertaining.
Could not recommend this more.
