adventurous dark

5.0

I bow down to C.L Clark for breaking my reading slump and causing me to read 350 pages in one day. 

This had all of the in-depth political machinations, interrogation of colonisation and brilliant character relationships that made me adore the first book in this series. Dark, brutal, angry - this book is one of rage against the colonial powers who will do everything to keep control. It is about discovering that freedom doesn’t mean a lack of duty.
