On Vicious Worlds by Bethany Jacobs is everything I want a sequel to be! This book easily earned a 5 star read on every page of this action packed follow up to These Burning Stars.
Many people are like me in that they found These Burning Stars as a book that saved them from a reading slump. On Vicious Worlds continues that status as a book unlike any others. Wholly unique in it’s setting and premise, this book (and this series) will grip you and never let go until you’re finishing up at 2am with red streaked eyes and a racing heart.
***Beware, below this line contains spoilers for These Burning Stars and On Vicious Worlds!!!***
In On Vicious Worlds, we pick up right were These Burning Stars leaves off. Six, Chono, Jun, and company have jumped with the Jeveni to the distant planet Capamame. The Treble system they leave behind is in disarray without the Jeveni to do the work they don’t want to do.
I truly loved this second installment in The Kindom Trilogy. As you follow Six and Chono when they return to the Treble, you’re intrenched in political machinations. Can Six continue to stay 3 steps ahead of everyone else? Or will her wits find their match and result in an end for her and Chono? Meanwhile, Jun is not just fighting for her life, but also her reputation among the Jeveni back on Capamame. The mystery of the hacker who is besting Sunstep kept me riveted to the page! I loved that Jacobs went back and forth between Six and Chono and then Jun and Capamame every other chapter because it kept me interested and craving more!
The absolutely devastating yearning between Six and Chono was palpable and visceral as you read through the pages. Masar and his polyamorous love story with Bene and Effegen was also so riveting.
I cannot recommend this book and this series enough! Please preorder this book if you want a story that you cannot put down!
