You can always count on RJ Barker to create unique and fascinating worlds, characters, and stories. I love the way he drops readers into the story and expects them to understand what’s going on through context. There is no hand-holding or info dumps here! Barker’s writing is intelligent and crisp.
This second installment in The Forsaken Trilogy continues the story of Cahan du Nahere (the true Cowl Rai of Zorir) from the first novel. Cahan is one of my favorite characters from fantasy, but I do question some of his decisions throughout this story! Also, we witness the further growth and development of the trion Venn and her understanding of her cowl. We see what happens to the citizens of Harn after the final events of Gods of the Wyrdwood. We also learn more about Cahan’s history, more about his sister Nahac, and meet a couple of new characters from Cahan’s past.
A great middle book and highly recommended!
