*******************************************************************************
The ending of All of us Villains left me screaming, I needed to know what was going to happen asap and it was one of those books that has kept being on my mind since I finished it. When I got accepted for the e-arc of All of our Demise, let's just say my neighbours probably heard my squeal.
So we start up exactly where we left off, Alistair and Hendry need Alistair to win to try to keep Hendry alive, Bryony, Finley, and Isabelle need to find more icons to break the tournament, and Gavin is being Gavin and trying to fight for his life once again. We are thrown straight back into the action and that was immense. There was enough back information in the first few chapters to give you a gentle reminder about what happened previously, but not enough to make me bored and get frustrated about everything being repeated. Obviously, if you have not read book one, then please read that first, there is so much information you need for book 2 to make sense.
The magic system is still an interesting concept and I love how intricate it gets throughout this second book. We are deeply thrown into the world again and I feel like we get more knowledge because Reid is dragged in with them. The champions use the tear in the inner blood veil to use the resources around them, and the spell makers get to play the biggest role they have ever had in the history of the tournament.
This book made me even more attached to our main 4 champions and I felt we really got to understand and grow with them. By the end of the book, everyone is changed and only just learning how to truly be themselves. This is due to their families not having access to them of course.
That ending, do not get me wrong, I loved the ending and it was the perfect way to end. I knew there would have to be something, a twist, to make it more realistic. But obviously, I wish there was another way it could have happened. (This is nothing about the book, it is literally me being an emotional wreck and just wanting my way). The ending was magnificent and I cannot see how it could have ended in any other way. It was superb and had me crying and then feeling that sense of calm.
Basically, if you loved All of us Villains you will devour All of our Demise. The book was well worth that wait and I am so thankful I got to read an e-arc as I needed this book asap. Not many duologies make me this happy and content, I always want more, but this felt right.
