Reign of Madness by Kel Kade
4.0
Kel Kade's King's Dark Tidings series continues in this second book in the saga, "Reign of Madness", and it does not disappoint! Part fantasy & part political thriller, this series will keep you up reading well past your bedtime. The story picks up right after the first book ends, and continues the journey of Rezkin and his companions as they head to the king's tournament.
We learn more about King Caydean, and the political situation in the land of Ashai. We also learn more about Rezkin... but, do we?? It seems like the more we learn about him, the deeper the mystery about who - or what - he is only intensifies. The reader is as confused as Rezkin is himself.
Book two ends on a major cliffhanger, and I had to jump right to book three and read several chapters before I could write this review because I wanted to see where the story might go. So far in book three, there are still no definite answers. Suffice it to say, Kel Kade knows how to write a compelling story.
There's a lot of action, drama, and intrigue which draws you in and keeps you up way past your bed time reading just one more chapter. I highly recommend the series so far - unless you need your beauty sleep. Then forget it, cuz you won't have much!
