Publisher's summary

Six of Crows meets Graceling with a dash of Winter Is Coming in Katy Rose Pool's second installment of the action-packed and swoon-worthy Age of Darkness series - As the Shadow Rises.

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, Anton’s 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 is perfect for fans of Throne of Glass, Children of Blood and Bone, and An Ember in the Ashes.

* "Adventurous relic-hunting, mind-blowing twists, budding love, and terrible betrayals feature in this multiple-narrator, character-driven study of power, agency, and identity and the ways these are affected by the interwoven threads of both history and legend." (Kirkus Reviews, starred review)

❤️ story, but not narration

I was very engrossed in the story but had trouble with some of the narrator's voices. As the characters grew and/or their story lines became more important so their role expanded, the narrator began to use the same voices for multiple characters which I found very grating and sometimes confusing.

Bad narrator

The story is pretty good and really easy to follow but the reader changes the characters voices throughout the whole book! It so obnoxious!
