The Second Betrayal by A.F. Kay
5.0
Okay, so in case the headline isn't enough to convince you to get and read this novel, I'll expand a bit more. If you have read Shade's First Rule already, I likely do not need to convince you to get this book. But, just in case you are, for some odd and unknown reason, unsure about whether or not you want to continue the story, then let me ask this: are you really satisfied with not knowing the fallout of that last battle?
If you have NOT read Shade's First Rule, and are here trying to decide whether or not to start the series based upon the reviews of the other books in the series (because, let's face it, we've all started a series that we thought would be great based upon the first book and then were completely let down by the subsequent installments), let me assure you that this will not be the case. Ruwen and his friends continue to learn and grow in this book, while the larger story at play begins to unfold even more. Again, I don't want to say too much for fear of moving into spoiler territory.
A F Kay has delivered another wonderful novel in The Second Betrayal. The storytelling is on point, the character development is fantastic, the dialogue is outstanding, and the entire work is simply amazing. As with Shade's First Rule, A F Kay draws you in from the very beginning, sweeping you along in the story with such talent that, before you even realize it, you have spent the last 6 hours reading and simply cannot put the book down until you find out what happens next.
Also, as I mentioned in my review of Shade's First Rule, if you prefer audiobooks to ebooks, Travis Baldree does a masterful job with the narration. So, whichever way you go, whether it's picking up the e-reader of your choice to read the book or slipping on/in your headphones to listen to the audiobook, this in one that you absolutely will enjoy.
