As the Shadow Rises | Katy Rose Pool
8 posts | 2 read | 3 to read
Six of Crows meets Graceling with a dash of Winter is Coming in this second installment of the action-packed and swoon-worthy Age of Darkness series! The Last Prophet has been found, yet he sees destruction ahead. In this sequel to the critically-acclaimed There Will Come a Darkness, kingdoms have begun to fall to a doomsday cult, the magical Graced are being persecuted, and an ancient power threatens to break free. But with the world hurtling toward its prophesized end, Antons haunting vision reveals the dangerous beginnings of a plan to stop the Age of Darkness. As Jude, Keeper of the Order of the Last Light, returns home in disgrace, his quest to aid the Prophet is complicated by his growing feelings for Anton. Meanwhile, the assassin known as the Pale Hand will stop at nothing to find her undead sister before she dies for good, even if it means letting the world burn. And in Nazirah, Hassan, the kingdom-less Prince, forms a risky pact to try to regain his throne. When the forces of light and darkness collide in the City of Mercy, old wounds are reopened, new alliances are tested, and the end of the world begins. The Age of Darkness trilogy, which the Amazon Book Review called "the next big fantasy series," is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes. Praise for There Will Come a Darkness A cant miss debut from an exciting new talent. New York Time bestselling author Kiersten White "Reading this intricate YA fantasy, you get the feeling Katy Rose Pools plot is always seven steps ahead of you. Youll want to catch up as quickly as possible." Refinery 29 * "Pool accomplishes a masterful balance of exposition, action, and characterization . . . full of genuinely surprising and interesting twists that will have readers anxious to get to the last page."

Fast paced and thrilling. The twists were coming in waves.
Love the different POVs and how seamlessly all pieces come together.
Read it in German.

Thank you so much for these thoughtful goodies! I love mint chocolate so much and those chocolates with the sweaters on them are almost too pretty to open! I can't wait to dig into that book. I almost spent some Christmas money on that but I'm glad I held off 😊 And SO beautifully wrapped. Best way to end the year! I love it 😘😘😘

I was hoping to knock a good chunk out of this today but instead I had an ongoing battle with my basement & flooding. I guess I will just have to see how far I get before I head to bed. Why does the weekend always seem to go by way to fast?

All my library holds have come in but work has had me so stressed and exhausted that I basically crash when I get home at night. I just need a day off to curl under my blankets and read. Maybe a "mental health day" is in order soon ??

I‘m in the last 2 hours of the audiobook and I have been pleased with it all along. This book is so satisfyingly linear. In a chapter they‘ll say “We need to go get the chalice!” and then in the next chapter they go and freakin‘ do it. I‘ve read several books recently that set up a quest and then immediately tear it apart, so this has been excellent.

In the midst of the audiobook for this and I am enjoying it. I think one of the storylines is heading towards being a found family heist tale and I am here for it.
